Last weekend the Nordic Championships took place at Hvervenbukta, Oslo. The very high bite and bumpy Astroturf track had a lot of elevation changes. Although some of the usual talented drivers were missing from Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, the competition did not disappoint. By the end of Friday’s practice, Team Associated’s Joakim Niclassen was comfortable with his buggies, and was confident going into the weekend. Once qualifying started, both the driver and his cars were working perfectly and TQ was soon followed by the win.

Round four of this year’s RC Lemans Series was held this past weekend at the M.A.C. de Baanbrekers club in Rucphen, the Netherlands. Partly damp conditions made things interesting, nevertheless most of the qualifiers and finals could be run in dry conditions. With the qualifiers not being counted by points and following a dry and a slightly damp qualifier the final round would be the rocket round to qualify for the A-mains in both the Modified and Stock classes. In the Modified class it was Reinder Wilms who was able to score the only 23 laps qualifying run to take a maiden TQ in the RC Lemans Series. Behind the Dutchman Tobias Weist, Sven Stoffels, Tim Altmann and Marc Lorenz completed the top 5 with all four being covered by only a couple of seconds.

Brendan Wheatley has been on fire all weekend long here at the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals in the 17.5 Stock Truck class earning the overall TQ with his Team Associated T5M. Only racing for 2 years, Brendan has been climbing the stock ladder and making great progress with his well equipped custom T5M chassis made by Dillon Davis, Schelle ceramic bearings, MIP 3 gear aluminum gearbox and Eco top shaft. With smooth power delivery from his Hobbywing ESC/SchuurSpeed Select motor combination, Brendan has been able to masterfully tame the high traction, full slick tire conditions here at Outback Raceway. With Ron Schuur on hand, Brendan has been able to optimize his gearing and motor timing to maintain both high corner and straightaway speed to separate himself from the field resulting in the only 20 lap qualifying run.
With such a fantastic start to the weekend at the JConcepts Summer INS, dominating his rivals in all 4 classes and already earning the overall TQ in all 4, the final round of qualifying for Rivkin was used to break in tires for the mains.

The battle between TLR/JConcepts’ Jason Moberly and Kyle Layton has been on since the start of qualifying. Edging out his competitor, Moberly would finish ahead of Layton in the final round of quals giving him 2nd overall in qualifying with Layton starting just behind Moberly.

In Modified Elliott Harper took TQ and leg one of the Modified A final and looked on course to score his first win since moving to Schumacher for 2015, but in leg two and three Elliott seemed to lose his performance advantage and was swallowed up by the chasing pack, Associated’s Chris Grainger took advantage in leg two and in leg three Colin Price took the leg and with it the win, the top three of Price, Grainger and Xray’s Olly Jefferies tied on points but the tie breaker fell in favour of Price giving him his second ever UK national win.
