Malin Karlsen wins Grenland Championship Series Rd6

The sixth and final round of the Grenland 2WD Championship Series was recently held in Skien, Norway. Xray’s Malin Karlsen again made one of her last-minute entries but this would not stop her from dominating the field as she came out fastest after the qualifiers to line up on the 1 spot for the triple A-mains. The opening two A-mains then were a done deal for the swift girl who laid down the only 14-lap runs of the event, taking the overall win from the hard-chasing Team Associated duo of Mathias Fink and Oystein Doler.
