Batlle TQs & wins Spanish 1/8th buggy opener

The opening round of the Spanish 1/8th Nitro Buggy championship was held this past weekend at the Silla track in Valencia. 10-times national champion, Robert Batlle (Mugen) would take the TQ but hot on his heals was young Juan Carlos Canas (Mugen) who would take the 2 spot after the qualifiers from Mugen team mate Oscar Baldo. After the semis, Robert would still be on top to go from pole position into the A-main with the Mugen duo of Oscar and Bryan Baldo claiming the positions behind the Spanish record champion. The final then was a lively affair for Robert who at first lost a couple of positions due to a flame out but he reclaimed the lead to take the day’s win from Bryan Baldo while Portugal’s Ricardo Monteiro (TLR) grabbed the final podium spot.

Christian Mamesah wins at Indonesian Nats Rd2

The second round of the Indonesian Electric On-road Nationals was held at the SIS track in North Jakarta with a total of 50 racers attending in the three classes of Touring Open, FWD and Mini. The sugarwatered track offered a highspeed layout but the overall grip was described as complicated by some. In the Touring Open class Bowie Ginting took the overall TQ by securing round 2 and 3 but he would struggle in the mains as he only had one of the two allowed tyres sets at hand due to one set being unusable. Anyway Bowie was able to bring home the win in the opening A-main due to his closest competitor, Muhammad Izzah, making a series of mistakes despite being around 0.3 seconds faster per lap on fresh tyres.

sun_ronaldbruno

Ronald Volker finally got the defence of his Yokomo Euro Touring Series title on track with the first win of the season at Round 3 in Austria. After fending off an intense challenge from ETS Germany winner Bruno Coelho in A1, the Yokomo driver took a relatively easy A2 win finishing more than a second clear of his Xray rival. A race that would see the Top 5 finish as they started, ETS Czech winner Marc Rheinard finished the leg third a further 1.3 seconds back followed by Alexander Hagberg and Viljami Kutvonen. Wrapping up his first win in almost a year, which he incidentally was also claimed in Austria, Volker becomes the third different winner of the season as the championship now prepares to move outdoors onto asphalt for the second half of the season.
