Lacour & Jacquin win at Mauritius National Champs Rd1

Round one of the Mauritius National Championship was held at the Winner’s Speedway track on a sunny Sunday even though it rained on the previous night. The event was run in three different classes, 1/10 GP, 1/10 EP and 1/8GT. In the 1/10 GP class, Clarel Lacour took the top qualifying honours followed by Kenny Allas. During the final, Clarel showed confidence and managed to handle the pressure from both Giovanni Arekion and Keny Allas. Clarel opted for a less aggressive and softer setup this time around due to the low traction on that day and during the last 5 minutes of the 30-minutes final, Clarel managed to open a gap of two laps.
