Ronald Volker wins 2010 German Nationals

Last weekend the German nationals for electric touring cars took place on the well known Motodrom-track in Andernach. Racing all practice sessions and qualifying heats under sunny conditions, the weather changed totally on Sunday for the finals, the weather forecast for Sunday promising 99% chance of rain and it delivered. The 117 drivers present were divided as follows, Modified 53, Sport 13.5 36 and Hobby 17.5 28. Under the dry conditions on Saturday we saw some great battles for the Top Ten in all three categories, however the laptimes in all three classes were nearly the same. Due to the the power program speedos everybody can setup a 17.5 motor to be nearly to same speed as a Modified motor, something that has to change in the future. The Modified class victory went to recently crowned European Champion Ronald Volker driving his Yokomo, with Hot Bodies racer Dominik Fleischmann taking 2nd and Federico Veronesi coming home in 3rd for Serpent. In the Sport 13.5 class it was ETS champion Alexander Stocker who reigned supreme to win from Dominik Reschker and Marco Kaufmann, while in the Hobby class it was Tim Schwarz who took the win ahead of Ricardo Strolla and Sebastian Müller.

Honigl crowned Champion with Rd4 win in Austria

The fourth round of the Austrian electric buggy Nationals was held in Litschau, another beautiful track in the north of the country. This time there was 75 entries, a little bit less then normal, but this could have been due to the very bad weather forecast, which in the end was wrong and the racers were treated to blue sky and about 28°C on Sunday. The track went from very slick to a blue groove high traction track which was very good fun to drive. Qualifying saw Roland Macho, driving a Durango, and Hupo Honigl battling most of the time for the win, but the last round was won by Rene Trauner, another fast Durango driver. Hupo took the TQ in front of 3 other DEX410s with 7 in the top 10.
