Swiss Racing Cup Rd5 & Rd6 – Report

Round five and round six of the Swiss Racing Cup were recently held at the Sitterdorf track. In the 1/10th 200mm class, Patrick Fankhauser (Xray) qualified on the 4 spot during Saturday’s round five, but winning the semifinals allowed him to grab the pole position for the A-main that then saw Patrick being under pressure of TQ holder Philipp Buehler (Xray). Positions swapped due to a small mistake by Patrick but swift refuelling by his dad got him back into the lead that he would hold onto until the end to take the day’s win from Philipp Buehler with Michael Schäfer (Xray) completing the top 3 result.
