World Champion comes good in Q4
World Champion Bruno Coelho has come good at a critical point of the IFMAR Electric Touring Car World Championships, the Infinity driver posting his first TQ run here at Huge RC Circuit as we get the second half of qualifying underway. Having two P4 runs from the opening 3 rounds of 6, well off the standard of the reigning 3-time consecutive Champion of the category, he would top the fourth round with the second fastest outright time so far being just 0.079 off the best set by Michal Orlowski the round before. For Orlowski, it was to be a through 4th effort, a change of set-up making his car more difficult to drive, and pushing to try catch Coelho he had big mistake on the last lap. Second for the round would go to Jin Sawada, the Xray driver equalling his P2 from the opening round but being just 3/10th off on this occasion. Having show he had the outright pace to run with the best touring car drivers in the World when he set the fastest lap of Q2 this morning, newly crowned 1:8 Nitro Buggy World Champion David Ronnefalk completed the Top 3 ahead of his Xray team-mate Marc Rheinard. The first time outside the Top 3 for the Touring Car legend, Rheinard touched the curbing rolling his car twice with it luckily landing on its wheels but it was enough to deny him the TQ run he is keen to secure. Antoine Brunet competed the Top 5, the round the RC Maker driver’s best result so far after some impressive showings in practice.
