Sebastian Johansson wins at Mini-Prix 2015

The Minicars indoor track in Sweden recently hosted the Mini-Prix 2015 for 1/10th Formula cars. It was the first race in a very long time in the central parts of Sweden so most drivers had never attended a Formula race before nor had very much practice. Running the race very similar to the ETS Formula class rules made for some tight and interesting racing both for the drivers and the spectators trackside. In the A-main Sebastian Johansson came out successful in front of fellow Xray racers Mattias Trotte and Alex Hofvander.
