Grenland Cup 1/10 Buggy – Report

The third round of the Grenland Cup 1/10th Electric Buggy Cup was held in Skien, Norway. Local hero Joakim Nicolaisen set the pace in the qualifiers to put his Team Associated buggy in front of the Xray XB2 prototype of Malin Karlsen, who had a maiden outing in the 1/10th Buggy Cup. The first of the triple A-mains had Joakim scoring an easy win after an early mistake of Malin who only managed a 3rd place at the end as her buggy became difficult to drive during the race. Simen Halstensen came in 2nd in the opening A-final. A2 had again Joakim coming out successfully which handed him the day’s overall win early. Behind him Malin again made a mistake early in the race which denied her to challenge Joakim for the win but she was able to hold Simen behind thanks to a new set of tyres that made her buggy more constant to drive. In the last A-main Malin was finally able to take the win after a series of early mistakes by Joakim. Behing Joakim Nicolaisen (Team Associated) Malin Karlsen (Xray) ended the day on the runner-up spot while Simen Halstensen (Team Associated) rounded out the podium in 3rd.

Belgian SCT Cup Rd2 – Report

Round 2 of the Belgian SCT Cup was held at the astroturf track of the BPT club on a technical yet fun layout. As usual the event was run very smoothly and due to the track being in the shadow in the early hours of the day the qualifying started with a wet and slippery surface but from round 2 on the grip came up, making for ideal racing conditions. In Pro2 qualifying Nicolas Evens (TLR) swept all three qualification rounds to take the TQ from Philippe Hautecoeur who put his mid motor converted Team Associated truck on the 2 spot for the finals. Behind the two ten drivers were covered by only 5 points meaning that getting into the A-final was not an easy task. At the end Laurent Halluin (Team Associated) would end up in 3rd place ahead of Pascal Bouffioux (Team Associated).
