Marc Rheinard wint 1/12ste Europeanen Categories - Electric, On Road, International, Racing - comments closed
The 2008 1/12th scale European Championships was run by the Speed League Racing club this weekend in Ingelstadt, Germany. With just less than 100 racers signed in for the event, there was some quality drivers in the field and early on it looked like Marc Rheinard, using the Hot Bodies Cyclone 12, was the man to beat and he duly took the pole position in qualifying in front of fellow HB driver Ronald Volker, with Simo Ahoniemi rounding out the top 3. In the finals it was easy for Marc, winning the first 2 finals to take the overall with one leg to spare, while the 2nd spot went to last years Champion Andy Moore who battled from a 5th place grid spot to take the win in leg 3 and the runner up spot. The final step on the podium went to another Cyclone 12, that of current 1/10th European Champion Ronald Volker, while Hupo Hönigl and Alexander Hagberg rounding out the top 5.

Last weekend at the Purmerend artificial surface track in the Netherlands was the revenge race of the Germany versus Holland event, that last year was taken by Holland. This years race was held under changing weather and some good drivers from both countries were in attendance to battle for their country’s pride. The race saw some close fights throughout the field but in the end it was Daniel Reckward that took the win, followed closely by Tim Bremicker in 2nd while 3rd spot went to Marcell Guske and these positions were enough to give the win for Germany.

EFRA Body homologation rule update Categories - Gas, On Road, International, Racing - comments closed 
It seems that EFRA have been listening to your objections regarding their strict new policy on the EFRA number placement on bodyshells at their events. Franky Noens, the 1/10th IC Section chairman, sent us a letter outlining that for a number of reasons they understand it would be unfair to implement such a rule at such short notice and so have delayed this policy until 2009.

EFRA Homologated Bodies 1:8 IC Track Categories - Gas, On Road, International, Racing - comments closed
On Friday we published the list of the approved 1/10th scale body shells and informed everyone that EFRA will be very strict in checking these to ensure that they are indeed EFRA approved. We have now received a similar list of the 1/8th scale body shells, from Sander de Graaf, who also informs us that in order to compete in an EFRA sanctioned event the body homologation number must be embossed in the body, preceeded by the word “EFRA”. If this is not the case, you will not be allowed to use that bodyshell at an EFRA race, even if it had been approved in the past.
