The opening round of the Swiss IC Track Championship was held at the fast and demanding Sitterdorf track near the Lake Constance last weekend. The event was influenced by recurrent snowfall and rain resulting in very low grip.

The third round of the 2019 Italian GT12 Series was initially scheduled to take place on the outdoor track of QuellidelModellismoRC in Casalecchio di Reno, near Bologna, but with an awful weather forecast for the whole weekend, the organisers decided to move the event to nearby RC Landia, thus securing a regular progress of the race on the indoor ETS carpet track of the famous facility. As controlled practice and qualification rounds unfolded during the morning, it was a tight battle at the top between series’ leaders Alessio Tolomelli (Schumacher) and Alessio Mota (Schumacher) with the latter emerging the fastest of the field and finally securing the TQ spot for the afternoon’s finals ahead of Tolomelli and Alessandro Rampini (Treerremodellismo).

The second round of the 2019 FBA Belgian EP On-road Nationals was held this past weekend at the outdoor track of the MRCZ Zwevegem. Due to the bad weather that affected races all over Europe this weekend, the turnout was a bit lower than expected. The MCRZ club however did a great job to provide the drivers with a fun and technical track on the available parking lot. Free practice on Saturday proved that finding a good setup would be extremely difficult. The frequent rain showers meant that the drivers practiced with different grip levels on each and every run. When the racers arrived on Sunday morning, the track was fully wet and a wet race was declared. This meant that the racers could chose between a rain chassis and a dry chassis to cope with the changing track.
