Daniel Carlsson wins at MSEC Rd3

Round three of the MSEC cup was held in Åtvidaberg in the middle of Sweden, this past weekend. In the Touring 13.5T class it was Buggy ace Elias Johansson who set the pace in the qualifiers. Only 0.7s off was team mate Daniel Carlsson and lining up 3rd on the grid was Marcus von Elling. In the finals Elias Johansson had some hard times when grip came up that added to some electronic problems. Daniel Carlsson took full advantage of this and brought home the win in A1 and A2. Before A3 the remainder of the podium was still quite open and Elias Johansson took the win in front of Markus von Elling, so the overall result was Daniel Carlsson (Team Associated) taking the win in front of Marcus von Elling (Xray) and rounding out podium was Elias Johansson (Team Associated).

Thanks to Daniel Carlsson for the update.
