Meen Vejrak sits perfectly poised to claim his first ever Yokomo Euro Touring Series victory as the Thai driver was dramatically handed a last lap A2 win when Top Qualifier Ronald Volker ran into the back of race leader Bruno Coelho on the final run down the main straight. Having got past team-mate Yannic Prumper earlier in the race, Vejrak was able to slip through the chaos with three corners to go to take the win half a second from a recovering Coelho while A1 winner Prumper completed the Top 3.

Yannic Prumper has won an action packed opening A-Main at Round 3 of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in Italy, the Yokomo driver heading a somewhat unexpected Yokomo 1-2 from team-mate Meen Vejrak. From the start it was an action packed race as Top Qualifier Ronald Volker and the no.2 starting Xray of Bruno Coelho made contact on lap 3. With Coelho coming off worst and dropping to the tail of the field while Volker continued to lead clearly struggling, the German would then put his Yokomo on the grass allowing five cars through. Posting the fastest lap of the race, once in front Prumper took control followed by Vejrak while the ever spectacular Coelho worked his way back to the front to finish 3rd, followed by Xray team-mate Alexander Hagberg. Suffering his third incident of the race when he rolled after contact with championship title rival Marc Rheinard, Volker would eventually finish up 7th. Unfortunately after a good start by HB’s Jilles Groskamp his race would come to a sudden end when the former World Champion collected the Tamiya of Christopher Krapp, his replacement at TRF, which after crashing slid from the middle section of the track and into the path of the fourth placed PRO5, the high speed contact breaking both cars.

Lee Martin cruised to an easy unchallenged win in the opening 4WD A-Main at the Euro Offroad Series in Austria this afternoon but behind the Yokomo driver there was plenty of action to entertain the large crowd of onlookers. Starting from pole position, Martin quickly established a lead as behind a slow starting David Ronnefalk came under pressure from the Xray of Martin Bayer. In the battle the two would make contact which would also hold up Martin Wollanka allowing the Schumacher of Michal Orlowski to slip through to second place, where he would stay till the finish with Bayer to complete the Top 3 1.1-seconds back. Starting from the back of the grid Serpent’s Joern Neumann would enjoy a great race to finish fourth after seeing off the challenges of Team Associated’s Patrick Hofer.
