Prümper tops EWS International after Saturday

Saturday’s action at the 2018 EWS International concluded with Infinity’s Yannic Prümper atop the ranking lists in the Modified class. The German had started off the day with a second place in the opening qualifier, and backed that up with a TQ run in the evening’s Q3 round. Describing how the whole Infinity team had improved throughout the weekend, the multi-time podium-finisher at the event said that it had “started pretty bad, but we worked together and found pace again”. He won’t make any changes to his IF14 for tomorrow, but will use the free practice round scheduled in the morning to run in his second set of race tyres.

Spencer Rivkins wins at rained-out Fall Brawl

One of the best nitro races on the east coast, the 2018 Fall Brawl is always jammed pack with awesome competition, killer layout, and a truly fun atmosphere. As fun as the track was … everything was just about perfect, unfortunately, mother nature is going to win any outdoor war and halfway through qualifying, the rain came and continued into the next day washing away the weekend of racing. However, with almost two rounds in the books, the race was called and awards were given based on the qualifying action that took place. After a disappointing result from the 2018 IFMAR World Championships in Perth, Australia, Spencer Rivkin wanted a bit of redemption in the Pro Nitro Buggy class. Back into 1/8th scale mode, Spencer made the trip from Surprise, Arizona to his first ever Fall Brawl experience and loved it. Badlands is definitely a track suited to Spencer’s driving style and we saw him really distance himself from his competition in quals 1 and 2. As the only Pro Nitro driver to turn 12 laps in qualifying, Spencer grabbed two TQs before the rain came and was awarded 1st place once the race was called.

RC Kongen Winterseries Rd3 – Report

The third round of the RC Kongen Winterseries was held at the RC Kongen indoor track in Sonderso, Denmark recently. The popular event is constantly growing with the third round having attracted 50 entries for the four classes of 2WD Mod Buggy, 4WD Mod Buggy, 13.5T Stock Buggy and Mod Racing Truck. The race was held at RC Kongen’s EOS carpet track and the layout offered a good mix of open and tight corners along with a wall of death and some nice jumps. With drives from all over the country, as well as a handful of pilots from Germany, 4WD Mod Buggy is the biggest class. Marcus Kaerup is one of the best 4WD drivers in Denmark, despite his young age and his main competitor would be Pelle Culmsee. He is one of Europe’s best 1/8th scale nitro racers and is currently under contract with Hot Bodies Racing. Those two had a race of their own in qualifying. Marcus won two rounds and would start from pole, after setting a new fastest lap of 15.1s, and he also was the first ever to score 20 laps in 5 minutes. Quite a few Germans also made their entry, most of them competing in the 4WD class. They were very fast, and the best of them was Melina Ratzlaff, a 17-year-old girl. She almost made the A-main with her well-prepared Xray.
