The Aple Adria Masters was held at the Tolmin track in Slovenia. After last year’s rain this year the weather held up perfect, attracting many drivers to compete in several on-road classes. In the 1/8th Nitro On-road class Jernej Vuga won the final after starting from the 2 spot behind Nejc Mihelic. Jernej went the risky way of changing his car’s set-up for the final and the risk paid off as some laps into the race he passed Nejc and never looked to take the win. The pole sitter Nejc on the other hand had a crash during the final and had to retire while being in 2nd place.

The SMA hosted the 2015 Muchmore Masters with the weekend starting with rain and a condensed practice, so the field headed straight into seeding practice. With the extra low-grip asphalt it was extremely difficult to get the pan cars sorted and it was Aaron Lee (Serpent) who made the best out of the condition by taking all but one qualifier to take the pole position for the finals. The triple A-mains then had Aaron further dominating the field by coming out successful in all three final legs. David Craft went head to head with Hiroshi Ishizaki and Dustin Fletcher but David Craft (Serpent) came out on top after the three finals to take the runner-up spot from 3rd placed Dustin Fletcher (CRC).
