Mathieu Wullyamoz is European ‘B’ Champion

Euros 200mm B practice update

With the EFRA European ‘B Championships getting underway this week at the beautiful Lostallo track in Switzerland, we received this brief practice update. Wednesday saw most of the drivers present but the track was still wet until the afternoon. Already a few drivers were getting their first laps on the wet track and from 4 o’clock the track was completely dry. From that point on, most of the drivers couldn’t wait to get their first laps in on the large MRTM track. Even though it rained all Tuesday the grip was pretty good and fast laps were being put on the score board. Setting those quickest laps were Quentin Leroux, Thomas Gunsel, Mathieu Wolyarmoz, Joe Kerry and Traugott Schar, all running laptimes under 22 seconds. Just as soon as it dried, it rained again and practice for Wednesday was over. We will be bringing you reports from the track throughout the weekend up until the finals on Sunday so stay tuned.

Thanks to Remy Moller for this update.
