Nitro Series Espanolas Rd1 – Report

The opening round of the Nitro Series Espanilas, a new championship based on the Euro Nitro Series format, was held at the VillaReal track, home of the 2008 European Touring Car Championships. The event, that was run in a single 200mm class, saw some novelties for a Spanish race such as a control tyre, made by Matrix, and a qualifying points system among other news; such as a car chase challenge called Desafio. The race attracted a good amount of drivers including local talent and internationally experienced drivers such as 2014 200mm Spanish Champion and Euros runner-up Edu Escandon, former Champion Jonhy Pastor and former Spanish Touring Car Champ Juan Hidalgo. The TQ honours were taken by Edu who also set the fastest lap and new track record with his Novarossi-powered KM car, followed by Jonhy Pastor (Mugen/Novarossi), Juan Hidalgo (Mugen/Novarossi) and David Cuesta (Mugen/Novarossi). Following the qualifying the “Desafio Challenge” was held and it was Ruben Marco (Shepherd/Picco) who came in 1st after a faultless drive.

Elias takes South American Nitro On-road Champs

Brazilian frontrunner Flavio Elias has taken the 2015 South American 1/8th Nitro On-road Championship title in Americana. Already in practise he showed a good performance and clocked fast lap times but in the first two of the five qualifying rounds Flavio had to retire early but with the fastest times in the remaining three rounds he secured himself the pole position and direct qualifying spot for the 45 minute main final. In the early stages of the final Flavio had some difficult laps and he dropped back to 8th position but once he found his groove he was able to climb up the order step by step. In Lap 63 Flavio took over the lead from Sebastian Recio and increased the gap constantly. After 45 minutes he crossed the finishing line in 1st place, some 3 laps in front of Sebastian Recio in 2nd place. The podium was completed by Kazuo Ohara in 3rd position.

Endurance Championship Austria 2015 – Report

The 2015 Endurance Championship Austria was held at the Tirol Ring in Austria last Saturday with 8 teams and a total of 24 drivers in attendance. The practice took place on a very wet track and the qualifying started at noon with team MRC Zillertal I (Egger / Gehrig / Stoeckl) putting their car on the pole position in front of the RC Bike Team (Kranewitter / Wäckerle / Feilner) and the team Fahr(t)raum (Klausner / Klausner / Reiser). The actual race, run over 10 hours, started at 1 p.m. on a drying track. The pole setters started off quick but some 13 minutes into the race the hopes for the overall win went up in smoke due to a motor failure. After a 14 minute break the guys managed to get back on track and they would ultimately finish in 4th place with a total of 1055 laps. Up front the team Fahr(t)raum won the race with 1119 laps, only 3 laps in front of the RC Bike Team with the 3rd placed Geisler Racing Team coming in only another lap down after 10 hours.
