Martin Lissau wins Danish National opener

Last weekend the first round of the Danish Nationals took place at the Odense RC MiniRace track. Martin Lissau was present to compete the first time with the Shepherd Velox V10 and with limited possibilities for practice because of the rain he went into the first round of qualifying and set a new track record on his way to clocking the fastest time. Right after, the rain arrived again and the rest of the qualifying was canceled. The finals were scheduled for Sunday and finally the track was dry. Right from the start of the final Martin pulled away and never looked back, running flawlessly for 30 minutes to cross the line in first position ahead of Claus Rygeskov in 2nd and Martin Hansen in 3rd. In the 1/8th scale class Henrik Christensen had the lead from the start to the end to take victory in front of fellow Shepherd racer Hans Andersen in 2nd, with John Jessen 3rd.
