The sixth and final round of the Dutch Electric On-road Nationals was held at the fast, bumpy and pretty low-grip Raco2000 track. Sybrand de Boer would TQ the Touring class nearly a second in front of Rob Janssen who suffered from not getting his front tyres to work properly. In the finals and thanks to better tyre treatment, both Sybrand and Rick would outpace Rob who had to settle for third overall which would still be good enough to take the Dutch National title.
This past weekend saw the final round of the BRCA Clubman National Championship at the large Halifax Track in the north of England.

The fifth round of RC-Hobby Racing Cup was held in Skripov, Czech Republic.

Round six of the Japanese-based Speed King Tour was held at the RC Stadium Sodegaura track in the Chiba prefecture. The asphalt track was renewed in time for the event and it also received a new layout, making for equal conditions for both locals and guest drivers. Current Touring Modified points leader, Tamiya’s Akio Sobe showed his speed right from the start of the practice and he would take an easy TQ after the qualifiers. Yokomo driver Yugo Nagashima tried to catch Akio but had to settle for second.
