Xray’s Adrian Berntsen claimed the biggest win of his career today at the third round of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series when he became only the 10th race winner in the world famous electric touring car championship. Winning the opening A-main at the Gran Canaria event, which he backed up with a second in A2, the Norwegian drove a calculated final leg to finish second behind defending champion Ronald Volker and more importantly ahead of Xray team-mate Alexander Hagberg to take the overall win at the ETS’ 36th race. Having TQ’d the event, Volker would finish second overall on tie break with Hagberg to claim his 10th consecutive podium finish. Like at Round 2 where Hagberg took the win it was once again an all Xray affair with team driver Jan Ratheisky taking the win in both Pro Stock and Formula on the holiday island.

Team Xray’s Adrian Berntsen has won the opening A-Main of the Ride Modified class this morning in Gran Canaria. Qualifying second for the third round of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series, the Norwegian had the lead at the start of the race as Top Qualifier Ronald Volker spun out as the cars left the grid and once in front the 20 year-old would controlled the race from start to finish. Behind Berntsen, HB’s Andy Moore would finish second but only after Kyosho’s Christopher Krapp, who passed the former World Champion coming into the straight on the last lap, went into the final corner too hard knocking the battery from his car just before the loop. Lucky for Krapp only the top three cars crossed the loop a lap earlier just ahead of the 5-minutes so he was able to come away with third. Volker would only finish 10th.

The organisers of this year’s IFMAR World Championship have announced the location of the 1/12th scale portion of the event. While the ISTC Touring Car race will take place at the Full Throttle Raceway in Kissimmee, the 1/12th race is set to take place in Largo, Florida (Minnregg hall, 6340 126th Ave Largo, FL 33773) close to Tampa, some 100 miles away from the outdoor track. A well known venue, having hosted ROAR nationals in the past, for the first time the distance between locations means racers who are planning to race both classes will have to arrange separate accommodation for each event.
With official timing finally becoming available with the first round of controlled practice it is Ronald Volker who set pace during the single 5-minute round at the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in Gran Canaria. After issues with the newly resurfaced track that saw much of the day’s practice run as open practice by class, the Team Yokomo driver set the fastest three consecutive laps ahead of Xray’s Adrian Bernsten with team-mate Alexander Hagberg and Serpent’s Marc Fischer sharing identical times to be be third fastest.
