Hansen crowned Danish 1/8th On-road Champion

Last weekend the third and final round of the Danish Nitro On-road Championship was held at the high speed track of the Næstved Model Racing Club. In the 1/8th class it was again Martin N.O Hansen who set the pace, claiming the TQ position by winning three of the four qualifying rounds. Martin Dyrlund lined up in 2nd and Rasmus B. Nielsen had to settle for the 3rd spot after the qualifiers. Going into the 30-minute final Martin N.O looked unbeatable, but Martin Dyrlund, Rasmus and Søren had set a high pace and were on same lap as Martin N.O until the last minutes of the final, when Rasmus ran out of tyres and Martin Dyrlund’s high pace was at the cost of high fuel consumption. This allowed Martin N.O Hansen (ARC/Novarossi/Contact) to take the win one lap in front of Søren Jørgensen (ARC/Novarossi/Contact) in 2nd and Martin Dyrlund (ARC/Boss/Contact) 3rd. With the TQ and win, Martin also secured a perfect season with TQs and wins at all races to take the overall title.
