Middle Swedish Cup Rd1 – Report

The first round of the Middle Swedish Cup for electric touring cars and 1/12 scale cars was held at the brand new permanent carpet track of Swedish Xray distributors Minicars. The track is fairly big compared to the old one and allowed for some fast paced racing in all classes. The race saw some 70 entrants divided in three different classes. In Modified there was very close racing between Alexander Hagberg and Niklas Johansson, battling it out for the TQ position. In the end Alex managed to snatch the TQ spot with only a few hundreds. Magnus Vässmar and Niclas Nilsson qualified 3rd and 4th respectively. In the finals, Alex managed to win the first two finals with ease. The others would battle it out for the remaining podium spots. Niklas Johansson drove a flawless A3 to take the runner-up spot in front of Niclas and Magnus.
