Louth R/C Car Club Winter Series – Announcement

The Louth Radio Control Car Club has announced the second running of its Schumacher Winter Series. Off the back of last year’s successful club championship, the rules and format have remained the same. The series has four different classes, 13.5 Blinky, 17.5 Open, GT12, and Tamiya Euro Trucks. The emphasis is on the racing, and not the size of the budget, or the equipment each driver has. The club has brought the feeling of a big event, with banners, race reports and pictures, but placed it within a club environment. The warm-up race will be held on October 21st with the series kicking off on November 11th. All dates, rules and regulations can be found here and here.

Rob Janssen takes Dutch Touring Stock title

The fifth round of the Dutch Electric On-road Nationals was held in Utrecht recently. With two TQ runs Rob Janssen (Team Magic) would secure the pole position for the Touring Stock A-mains in front of Infinity’s Jitse Miedema. A1 was pretty much smooth sailing for Rob, however with the sun coming out for A2, things changed a bit on favour of Jitse who was hot on the heels of Rob for the entire main, however Rob brought home the win in A2 also, taking the day’s win and with it the overall title. Jitse Miedema came in 2nd, in front of ARC’s Frank Baggen.
