Rasmussen doubles at Danish EP Off-road Nats Rd2

The second round of the Danish Electric Off-road Nationals was held at the Odense RC Minirace club on a super bumpy and high-grip astroturf track. The qualification of the 2WD class was a super close affair between Jesper Rasmussen, Frederik Hovgaard, Mike Gosvig and Jonas Kærup. Ultimately Jesper took the overall TQ after winning the first and third round while Jonas lined up in second thanks to winning Q2. The triple A-mains also had a lot of close racing to offer and a change in weather let the track significantly drop in traction due to a lot of rain. Jesper would be able to conserve his qualifying performance for an easy win in A1 but after a mistake in the opening stages of A2 he had to recover but after a good fight with Jonas he was able to win the leg and with it the 2WD class ahead of Frederik and Jonas.
