Stiles does the Double At BRCA 1/12th Rd1

Last weekend saw round one of this winter’s BRCA 1/12th scale nationals take place in Crewe. The meeting saw most of the familiar faces in attendance along with the return of one or two names who haven’t attended the nationals for a couple of years. The most notable of these was Olly Jefferies, who will be driving an Associated R5.1 in this year’s championship. Last years champion Elliott Harper and former European Champion Andy Moore will also be at the next round, but were absent at this meeting due to International racing commitments.

Wilck and Stocker cruise to Leg 1 victory

Wilck and Stocker cruise to Leg 1 victory

Top Qualifiers Viktor Wilck and Alexander Stocker both cruised to easy victories in Leg 1 of their respective A-Mains here in Germany at the opening round of the 2009/10 ETS.  In Modified Wilck said the race was a little easier than expected as the challenge from Tamiya team-mate Marc Rheinard failed to materialise.  The Swede said it was more difficult than it looked to the large crowd of onlookers and he expects Marc to be back to the pace he showed in Q5 for Leg 2.  Both drivers ran the same set-up, however Rheinard said his TRF416X was just too slow.  Only changing the rear diff since qualifying the German said the car lacked corner speed and he is unsure what to do as the diff feels good.

Wilck holds overnight TQ at ETS Opener

Wilck holds overnight TQ at ETS Opener

Day 2 of the opening round of the 2009/10 Xenon Racing Euro Touring Series has closed and it is Tamiya factory driver Viktor Wilck who holds the overnight Top Qualifier’s stop.  The Swede took the penultimate qualifier adding to his TQ run for Q3 when he also pipped his TRF team-mate Marc Rheinard for maximum points. Leaving his Speedpassion powered car unchanged from Q3, Wilck came close but was unable to better his previous time however he declared himself as pretty happy with the run. Rheinard was not so happy just missing out a TQ run which he so badly needed.  Scoring another second the current World Champion and winner here last year will not be repeating his number 1 starting spot this time round.
