1/10th European B Championships – Day 2

European B Championships

Ok, so we will skip straight to day 2 of the 1/10th scale Euro B Championships as not a lot happened on day 1 in Roeselare except all of the drivers arriving and getting to grips with the track, and day 2 is not much different. Controlled practice started today (Tuesday) and so the first times have come out, but as it is still practice i wouldnt read into the times too much as i heard the track is still trying to lose its coating of dust and for the grip to really come up and people are still practicing and so not running at full race pace for the entire session. Local racer Steve Lambrechts is topping the times, although he is 2 laps up on everyone so he seemed to be pushing it in his practice run, while another Belgian, Henriet Manuel is next up ahead of Swiss driver Traugott Schär.

Mark Green wins Rd2 of UK 1/8th Nats

Mark Green was once again on top form as the British 1/8th National series headed south for the 2nd round of the championships. Taking place last weekend this event was run at the Crystal Palace circuit near London under warm Spring sunshine and it was indeed Mark that set the fastest qualifying time but was closely matched by local veteran Dave Dixon. In the main final Mark got away cleanly but Dixon ran into a stray pit man putting him out on the spot, which made it an easy run for Green to cruise home and take the win for Serpent ahead of Neil Diver in 2nd and Andrew North in 3rd.
