Kurzbuch & Schär win at Swiss IC Track opener

The opening round of the Swiss IC Track Championship was held at the fast and demanding Sitterdorf track near the Lake Constance last weekend. The event was influenced by recurrent snowfall and rain resulting in very low grip. In the 1/8th class pilots had to fight through ice, snow, wet and cold and there were tough demands on man and machine. The main final was run under damp/dry conditions and it was Simon Kurzbuch with a clean sweep, taking the TQ and the victory from Luca Martinelli in 2nd and Jürg Nydegger in 3rd.

In the 1/10th class Niclas Scherer was fastest driver all weekend. However problems during tyre change in the final prevented his first victory in his new team. Nevertheless, his ambitions were rewarded with the runner-up position behind winner Traugott Schär. Marco Schwab would round out the top 3 result.
