Jessica Palsson wins at MSC Rd2

Round 2 of the Middle Swedish Cup was held in Mjölby this past weekend with some of the country’s fastest drivers in attendance. Serpent’s Pontus Larsson took the TQ courtesy of winning two qualifying rounds and he also won his semifinal, however it was Kyosho’s Jessica Palsson with the pole position for the 30-minute A-main event. In the opening stages of the race both Jessica and Pontus were pretty equal in terms of pace but once Pontus got into a tangle with another car, Jessica was able to open a 10-seconds gap and that would increase to 30 seconds at the end of the main, allowing her to bring home a solid win from Pontus Larsson 2nd as Andreas Edvinsson rounded out the top 3 podium result.

BRCA Electric Touring Nationals Rd2 – Report

Stafford in the heart of the UK was the venue for round two of the BRCA Touring Car series. Heading the Modified challenge was an on-form Olly Jefferies who had enjoyed a dominating win at round one while his domestic challengers in the form of Elliott Harper and Chris Grainger struggled and both these drivers needed a good round two result to get their 2018 challenge back on track. Zak Finlay was also looking to make it two out of two after a win at Cotswolds and he led away the drivers in the 13.5 Boosted Stock class. Blinky 13.5 looked pretty open and now on a track that wasn’t so reliant on power this class looked like it was going to be a close affair with Colin Jackson, Billy Fletcher and pole man from Cotswolds Markus Askell all in the mix.

Danish 1/10th Off-road Nationals Rd1 – Report

The opening round of the Danish 1/10th Electric Off-road Nationals was held in Kolding recently. The hosting club had an arrangement with a motorsports festival to build a temporary track on the site, ensuring massive impact to the thousands of spectators. It made for a special atmosphere, although in all honesty the electric-powered cars had a hard time competing with the attention the real cars drew and the noise and dust from the full-size vehicles was a bit distracting at times. The purpose-built track offered loads of grip, however it was also a bit bumpy so everyone was after the best in terms of setup and tyres.
