Claus Ryeskov wins at Danish 200mm National Rd3

Round three of the Danish 1/10th 200mm Nitro On-road Nationals was held at the HRCR track in Hillerod, Denmark. The weather forecast for the weekend was very bad but on race day the drivers were greeted by Sun and temperatures of about 23 degree Celsius. The usual suspects were complemented by a new entry this weekend with off-road driver Rune Gustavsen campaigning Claus Ryeskov’s spare car and he was fast right from the get go, putting the car on the 3 spot behind Claus in second and Martin No Hansen on the 1 spot. In the final Martin and Claus battled for the lead with Claus putting a lot of pressure on Martin. Claus tried to get past a couple of times and both would make an unfortunate contact in the chicane, sending Martin off the track. With Claus opening a gap the race was now on between Martin and Rune while Rene and Tom were in a battle too. Martin then encountered glow plug problems that send him dead last and Tom Limkilde smashed into the pitwall, ending his race due to a broken servo. About 28 minutes into the main light rain started to fall but the shower did not affect the overall standings and so Claus cruised to the win with Rune in tow. Rene would complete the top 3 while Martin and Tom rounded out the top 5.
