Team Shepherd's Mack & Wischnewski take Q2 at ENS

Team Shepherd concluded Day 1 of qualifying at the Euro Nitro Series at Aigen, Austria, with a double as their drivers Oliver Mack and Dirk Wischnewski TQ’d Q2 of their respective classes.  Having just missed out in Q1 to Serpent’s Michael Salven, Mack would take the second qualifier of the rain effected event in a more convincing manner finishing 3.4 seconds faster than Xray’s John Ermen.  Behind the German it was very close with Ermen, Salven and BMT’s Daniele Ielasi separated by just 3/10ths.  In 1:10 Wischnewski topped the time sheets on a much drier track by .177 from Q1 pace setter and chassis team-mate Francesco Tironi with Serpent’s Dominic Greiner completing the Top 3.

Rain forces cancellation of ENS Day 1

Rain forces cancellation of ENS Day 1

The organisers of the Euro Nitro Series have opted to cancel Day 1 of the second round of the championship in Aigen, Austria, due to rain. A dry but cold track greeted drivers this morning but just after the 1:8 drivers took to the track for the first of their rounds of open practice, the 1:10 racers having got to complete their run, the first shower of the day arrived. Waiting to let the rain pass the weather was to further deteriorate with the Race Director making the call at lunch time to cancel today’s programme and give racers the time to prepare wet cars for tomorrow. With most of the racers having enjoyed plenty of dry running yesterday, Day 2 will start irrespective of it being a wet or dry track with the first of four rounds of qualifying. The track remains open today for an drivers wishing to get in some wet practice but the majority of racers are retiring to their hotels.

Thilo Alexander Toedtmann claims Euro-B title

Thilo Alexander Toedtmann claims Euro-B title

The 1/10 200mm EFRA European B Championship was held in the last week at the ARCA RC Track in Alcobendas near Madrid. The race showed some strong competition with practice started on Monday running on controlled tires and the race officially kicked off on Thursday with controlled practice rounds. Right from the start Xray’s Thilo Alexander Toedtmann showed a strong pace that he was able to conserve for the timed practice and also the qualifying rounds handing him the provisional TQ on Friday with two rounds to go on Saturday. Cooler temperatures on the weekend meant Thilo’s TQ would be in danger and a mistake in the final lap of the final qualifying round let the German drop to 3rd place overall.
