Andy Moore heads qualifying in Sweden

Andy Moore has continued on his top form from yesterdays practice into todays qualifying by taking the overnight pole after 5 rounds of qualifying at this years EFRA 1/12th scale European Championships. With 1 round still left to run on Sunday, my pre event favourite Marc Fisher of Germany has moved himself into 2nd place, albeit 4 seconds behind Moore after 8 minutes, with another German racer Markus Mobers 3 seconds back on Fisher, in 3rd. Finnish brothers Sakke and Simo Ahoniemi are 4th and 5th with Britsh 1/12th legend Andy Griffiths in 3rd. Tomorrow will see the 6th round of qualifying that will take place in the morning followed by the running of all the triple main finals and the crowning of the new 2007 European Champion.

Andy Moore heads up Euro 1/12th practice

Current 1/10th Touring car World Champion Andy Moore (not pictured above) is setting the pace after Fridays practice at the 1/12th European Championships held in Sweden. The British driver was 4 seconds clear of second place Simo Ahoniemi from Finland with German driver Markus Mobers in 3rd, a further 4 seconds back. Its, of course, only early stages and the drivers are still trying to find their best setup to go into qualifying, which starts tomorrow, so todays times are just a very rough estimation of who is quick. Finish gas racing specialist Teemu Saarinen was 4th fastest after todays practice sessions with dominant British champion Andy Griffiths lying in 5th.

2007 EFRA European 1/12th scale Championships, Sweden

For those who dont know, this years EFRA 1/12th scale Euros, being held in Eskilstuna Sweden, will start tomorrow (Friday) with group practice followed by 6 rounds of qualifications and the main finals on Sunday. Back in the start of December we reported on the warm up race, in which this years Snowbirds Mod 1/12th winner Marc Fisher reigned supreme, taking the win for Corally driving his SP12X. This win and his current form sees Fischer as one of the favourites for this years European title but also at the event are a number of other extremely quick drivers like TCWC Andy Moore, Simo Ahoniemi, Yli Vesa, Teemu Saarinen and Hubert Hönigl amongst others, so expect some close action. Below, are some useful links to some event resources and if you know any more that should be added to the list drop us a message.
