JQ grabs 10th Nordic Championship title

The 2016 Nordic Championships were held in Stockholm, Sweden over the weekend. The race, catering to racers from Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, was TQed by HB’s David Ronnefalk, followed by Christoffer Svensson (Mugen) and JQRacing’s own Joseph Quagraine. The times were really close in qualifying with the rounds being decided on the last laps. David and JQ raced in the same semi final, and battled for the entire race, with David eventually coming out on top. The pace was fast enough to place them 1 and 2 on the grid for the main, with Svensson winning the other semi lining up third. The main was 60 minutes, and was pretty exciting for the first 10 minutes, with multiple lead changes, but then Ronnefalk clicked into a higher gear and pulled away. JQ and Svensson would go on battling for second place for almost 45 minutes. At that time, Ronnefalk just lapped JQ and flamed out right after handing JQ the lead. The last 15 minutes JQ just maintained his lead over Svensson who fought off a hard charging Marcus Sandberg (Mugen), and crossed the finish line winning his 10th Nordic Championship.
