Koegler & Sartel successful at French BL Champs Rd3

Round 3 of the French 1/8th Brushless Championship was held at the TTRC90 track in Bermont this past weekend. On Saturday the practice rounds were held on a nicely prepared and technical track and under nice weather conditions, however things turned 180 degrees on Sunday when in the wet conditions the track got very slippery and the race was called a day after the 3rd rounds of finals. Ultimately it was TLR’s Felix Koegler with the TQ and win in the E-Buggy class from Jerome Sartel (TLR) on the 2 spot. Cyril Baldini (Team Associated) would round out the top 3. The E-Truggy class also saw Felix Koegler taking the pole position for the A-mains, however it was TLR teammate, Jerome Sartel with the overall win from Felix 2nd and Theo Lemaire (TLR) in 3rd.

Dennis Weihert wins at German Nats qualifier

The first round of the central region qualifiers for the German 1/8th IC Track Nationals took place this weekend at the Wiesbadener Minicar Club. In qualifying Oliver Mack would claim the TQ in impressive style. First setting a new track record in Q2 he then managed to go even faster in Q4. With rain on the forecast causing the final to be reduced to 20-minutes, Oli was pulling away from the field but he stopped at the 12-minutes mark due to an engine failure. Dennis Weihert, who qualified 5th, was able to take over the lead and from there he never looked back to take the win.
