2014 International Indoor Championships – Report

2014 International Indoor Championships – Report

The 10th annual International Indoor Championships was held at the Riviera Hotel & Casino located on the Las Vegas strip this past weekend. More than 400 entries, the biggest entry count in a while, split in many different electric on-road classes. The temporary carpet track laid out was a bit bigger than the previous years with grip levels rising quickly and getting very high. Many drivers made their way over directly from the IFMAR World Championships, making for busy travelling schedules. Qualifying in the premier class of Touring Car Modified therefore was an extremely close affair as Ronald Völker took TQ just 3 tenths of a second in front of Alexander Hagberg, and Paul Lemieux in 3rd, a few more tenths back.

Dominant Balestri wins ENS Finale

Dario Balestri completed the perfect weekend at the Euro Nitro Series season finale in Fiorano, Italy, with a dominant victory. Starting from pole position the Capricorn driver headed an Italian 1-2 in the race finishing almost 2-laps clear of Team Shepherd’s Francesco Tironi.

Pietsch takes penultimate qualifier

Pietsch takes penultimate qualifier

The overall TQ at the ENS season finale in Fiorano will be decided in the fifth & final round of qualifying after Robert Pietsch claimed his second TQ run in the penultimate qualifier.  Taking the round from Lamberto Collari, the two former World Champions now have identical scores going into deciding qualifier. While becoming Top Qualifier will make little difference to Collari’s ENS season, for Pietsch the bonus point on offer for securing pole position could prove vital in terms of his battle with Simon Kurzbuch to become the championship’s inaugural 1:8 Champion.  Kurzbuch, who leads the standings by 2-points would for a third time complete the Top 3 for the round.
