EFRA (European governing body) have released their list of A list drivers for 1/10th IC Track for 2007. This list basically shows who is not allowed to compete at the first ‘B’ licensed European Championships for 1/10th scale taking place in Roeselare, Belgium next year. This ‘B’ championship was added to the calendar due to the huge popularity of the class and the fact that previous European Championships have been oversubscribed. The ‘A’ Europeans for 1/10th scale are held in Madrid, Spain in 2007.
