Belgian SCT Cup Rd7 – Report

Belgian SCT Cup Rd7 – Report

The penultimate round of the Belgian SCT Cup was held at the BRTC club’s track, the place SC racing started in Belgium some years ago. The race marked the final outdoor event of the year and despite a sunny start into the weekend, on race day the track was very wet. A few brave drivers tackled the first qualifier anyway only to find that the trucks would collect loads of dirt but as time went by the track started to dry, making for better conditions and allowing more drivers to start into the second round of qualifiers.

Danish Touring Car Nationals Rd1 – Report

Danish Touring Car Nationals Rd1 – Report

Round 1 of the Danish Touring Car Indoor Nationals was held in the city of Randers using a purpose built track in a sports hall. The track itself had a nice and flowing layout but the long pile carpet made for some strange car behaviour, low grip and loads of broken ball bearings. During Saturday’s practice Mike Gosvig was able to pull the fastest laps but come race Sunday he started to make some mistakes allowing Patrick Hornum to take the TQ and the pole position for the A-mains.

Dustin Evans victorious at 2014 Gold Cup

Tacoma R/C Raceway hosted the annual Gold Cup event to kick off the fall/winter racing season and this year’s special guest was none other than former National Champion and previous Reedy Race Champion, Dustin Evans. When the JConcepts tour came into town last spring, it wasn’t sure if the track ever see any other big names come back. For those who don’t know, racing at TRCR isn’’t easy as the local fast guys are extremely fast. Countless hours of practice results in critical knowledge of the dirt, car setup, and layout of this awesome racing facility.

3 out 3 for Matsukura in Florida

3 out 3 for Matsukura in Florida

At a somewhat subdued 1:12 World Championship, only 44 drivers contesting the longest running electric category World Championships, Naoto Matsukura made it three out three in qualifying at the Florida event. Round 3 of qualifying saw the Yokomo driver again top the times as he became the first & only driver to run 53-laps over 8-minutes to put himself on provisional pole for his quest for a fourth consecutive title. With 3 from 6 rounds to count the only way the Japanese driver can now be denied becoming Top Qualifier is for one driver to top all three remaining qualifiers, the last of which takes place tomorrow morning. Behind Matsukura the continually improving Marc Rheinard, who was 4th in Q1 and 3rd in Q2, set the second fastest time with Hideo Kitazawa completing the Top 3.
