Last weekend saw the 3rd round of the Electric Balkans Open series, which took place indoor at Russe in Bulgaria. The classes were 1/10 touring stock, 1/10 touring modified, 1/10 team and 1/10 beginners. The modified class was definitely the most disputed class of all, and in the qualifications it was Emil Kostadinov that took the top spot ahead of Momchil Dimitrov and Romanian driver Gabi Mutu in 3rd. In the finals, thanks to some setup modifications and good driving, Gabi managed to claim the win in not only the modified class, but stock as well.
