The organisers wanted to end this inaugural season with a big celebration, so as per the usual format, the racing will be open for Modified and Pro Stock classes, and this will be the main event, but as a sideshow and to create a relaxed party atmosphere there will be some side events for the competitors such as cage soccer or beach volleyball, or both. Along with having the best drivers from Europe participating, they are also expecting to have former World Champion Atsushi Hara as well as country mate Shin Adachi from Japan in attendance, and from the USA they are hoping to have top racer Paul LeMieux competing.
Pro Stock racers will receive the Speed Passion 9.5 Ultra Sportsman brushless motor included in their entry fee as well as 1 set of Much More control tires and a t-shirt, while Modified racers will also get the t-shirt as well as 2 sets of control tires.

Mario Sowka wins Austrian EP Rd1 Categories - Events, Electric, On Road, National, Racing - comments closed 
The first round of the Austrian Electric Touring car Nationals were held recently at the RMC track in Vienna. Practice took place on Friday and Saturday under dry conditions and this allowed the drivers present plenty of time to perfect their setups for qualifying. In the qualifying it was local Xray driver Mario Sowka that claimed the pole position for the 3 leg A-main, in front of European buggy Champion Hupo Honigl driving a Tamiya while HB racer Thomas Pumpler took 3rd. In the final it was Pumpler that took the first leg, after Sowka made a mistake and dropped to 5th, but recovered to 2nd by the finish. In the 2nd leg it was Hupo that was leading early on but a small mistake and Mario was through to the lead and despite some more pressure, including a collision, the Xray driver could take the win. The final leg saw a collision early on between Mario and Hupo and this dropped both out of contention and allowed Pumpler into the lead, but he was followed closely by Patrick Gollner who could take the lead and leg win after a small mistake by Thomas and this result gifted the win the Mario Sowka, with Thomas Pumpler claiming 2nd and Hupo gaining the final podium spot.

Chris Grainger wins Rd1 BRCA Nationals Categories - Electric, On Road, National, Racing - comments closed
Round one of the BRCA Touring car Nationals took place at Aldershot and it was Yokomo racer, and defending Champion, Chris Grainger who was the early pace setter in the modified class. Chris held the top spot in qualifying overnight but was pipped to FTD by Olly Jefferies in the last round of wet qualifying. For leg 1 of the A-main Chris made a decision to go out on slicks on the drying track, while the rest of field remained on intermediates and it was this decision that proved to be best one as he could get passed Olly and take the leg win. Leg 2 and it rained just as the cars left the grid, and with grip at a premium Chris eased past Olly in the damp conditions but as it dried out Olly gave chase but Chris had done enough during the damp part of the race to build up a sufficient lead to take the win. Leg 3 went in favour of Olly but Chris had done enough in the first 2 legs to take the overall victory with Olly 2nd and Ben Cosgrove 3rd.
