Former European B Champion Riccardo Acciari took the win ahead of newly crowned 235mm National Champion Alessandro Manciocchi, with Massimo Cardelli rounding up the podium. The drivers have been graced by two days of wonderful weather, which made for a pretty big attendance on Saturday as well. The debut for this championship, the race unfolded flawlessly despite some last-minute withdrawals due to the seasonal flu outbreak in Rome which caused the number of heats to decrease and the time table to shift slightly. The race format – with one seeding practice, four 5-minute qualifiers in parc fermee regime and three 10-minute finals – proved challenging and guaranteed plenty of track time for each driver. After seeding, Riccardo Acciari would be top of the list, followed very closely by Massimo Cardelli (3/100ths over three laps) and Alessandro Manciocchi. Qualifying wouldn’t be much different, with Riccardo putting together the best five laps in the first three rounds wrapping the overall TQ in front of Alessandro, with Massimo in third.

Yokomo MS2.0 Aluminum Chassis Touring Car Kit

Following the launch of their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car. the MS2.0, in August, Yokomo has announced an Aluminium Chassis kit, aluminium chassis specification perfect for the indoor season which is just beginning. Its low centre of gravity makes it easier to handle high-grip surfaces such as carpet, but also is appropriate for medium to high grip asphalt enabling higher cornering speeds. The 1.5 mm thick aluminium main chassis lowers the centre of gravity and weight vs 2.0mm designs, while allowing more chassis flex providing more traction and a wider setup window. Screw fastening from the underside has traditionally been challenging with thin chassis, but the MS2.0 uses dedicated high-precision screws for precise machine building.
