Altmann & Klier win at German Pro10 Championships

The 26th International German Pro10 Championships were held at the MCC Rhein Ahr club in Bad Breisig over the weekend. A total of 33 drivers from France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Germany attended in the Modified and Stock classes. The event started out on Friday with open practice that, like the first two qualifiers on Saturday, was held in dry conditions. Unfortunately during the third qualifying round of the Stock class the heaven opened its gates and it was decided to run the third round of the Modified class on Sunday morning. Thankfully Sunday started out dry but it was pretty windy but that further helped to dry the track so the event would go ahead as planned. In the Modified class warm-up winner Tim Altmann made a clean sweep to grab the TQ from Patrick Miltat and Kai Altmann.

Bruno Coelho takes European 1/10th 200mm title

The 2015 EFRA 1/10th 200mm Nitro On-road Championships were held at the EFMOD Model track in Turkey. The huge track made for laptimes in the 25 seconds range and the difficult layout, high traction and high temperatures made for challenging conditions for the drivers. Practice saw Teemu Leino (HB) coming out fastest some 0.04 second clear of a very consistent Bruno Coelho (Xray). Alexander Hagberg (Xray) and Dominc Greiner (Serpent) also proved to be very quick on the challenging track. In the qualifiers Dominc Greiner then took the TQ from Simon Kurzbuch (Shepherd) and Teemu Leino. Bruno Coelho, who suffered from tyre problems and Alexander Hagberg completed the top 5 result.

D'hondt & Sanza take Belgian IC on-road titles

The 4th and final round of the Belgian Nitro On-road Championships was held at the Genk track in varying weather conditions but with only a few drops of rain that had no significant impact on racing. In 1/8th scale several drivers were still in a position to take the title. Gunther Van Staey (Serpent) secured the pole position and he was followed by a strong Robin D’hondt (BMT) who improved his car setup heat after heat as he was not able to do any setup work on Saturday due to rain. The next three drivers in qualifying were only separated by 3.5 seconds after the 5-minute rounds. Augustin Mejor (Mugen) and Hugues Yerna (Capricorn) went straight into the final while Nico Vandewynckel (Serpent) needed to bump up from the semi-finals.

Zsolt Bajusz wins at RCProf Summer Series Rd5

Round five of the RCProf Summer Series was held at the MAMSE outdoor track with the 13.5T Touring class being the most popular category. Hot weather was predicted for the race day and so everyone was eager to grab the TQ in the first of the three qualifiers as the grip level would decrease over the day. Zsolt Bajusz made the best out of a new set of Rex34 tyres and he would take the TQ in round one and with it the pole position for the triple A-mains as no one was able to get near his time in the following two qualifying rounds. The opening A-main then saw a close fight between Zsolt and the second placed driver with loads of position changes happening. At the end of leg one Zsolt held the upper hand an scored the win. A2 then had Zsolt cruising to the leg and the overall win and he is now in a good position to secure the overall title at the forthcoming sixth and final round of the RCProf Summer Challenge. Second at round five was Gabor Forrai, Janos Birinyi completed the top 3 result in the 13.5T class.
