Bermudez crowned Euro B Champion

It was a dream weekend for up & coming 1:8 Offroad talent Rémy Bermudez as the French teenager claimed his first European Championship title on home soil.  The Xray driver secured the overall TQ at the EFRA Euro B Championships at Longvic in Djion and duly went on to win his Semi final to secure pole position for the final from Mathis Peyre who qualified P2 and won the second of the Semi finals.  Over the 45-minute final, Bermudez would set to the fastest lap of the race with his FX Engine powered XB8 en route to taking the win by a lap from the similarly Hotrace Tyres shod Sworkz of Spain’s Adrian Pariente Torrijos who line-up 3rd on the grid.  8-seconds back Peyre’s Xray would complete the podium at the 18th edition of the championships which counts David Ronnefalk, Juan Carlos Canas and Lee Martin as just some of its former champions.
