Vigor BD8 “half-hole” carbon fibre shock towers

Coming from Vigor and made for the Yokomo BD8 is a range of new carbon fibre shock towers including “half-hole” variants for more precise shock angle adjustment. The items are cut from thinner 3mm carbon fibre compared to the standard 3.5mm material for increased torsional flex and thus improved traction on lower bite surfaces. The front tower is available as a 2-5 position option, lacking the 1 position, and also as 1.5 to 4.5 “half-hole” variant. The rear tower, that allows for front or rear body post mounting, comes in a 4-hole 1-4 or 3-hole 1.5 to 3.5 variant. All are cut from high-quality carbon fibre and they are a direct fit.

Kurzbuch is Top Qualifier in Aigen

Simon Kurzbuch is Top Qualifier for tomorrow’s penultimate round of the Infinity Euro Nitro Series in Aigen.  The reigning champion claimed his 3rd consecutive pole position at the Austrian track with a dominant qualifying performance topping all four rounds of qualifying.  His third TQ of the season which is so far void of a victory, the Shepherd driver will lead away the 45-minute final ahead of Toni Gruber and championship leader Dario Balestri.  Gruber secured his best qualifying of the season by backing up his his Q1 performance with another P2 time in the final qualifier allowing him to overhaul Balestri on the grid.  Q4 would see Balestri unable to battle to maintain his position due to a rich engine.  A former Top Qualifier of the race, Robert Pietsch will start 4th with Serpent’s Merlin Depta making it five different manufacturers at the front of the grid.

Greiner claims first TQ of season at ENS Austria

Dominic Greiner has claimed his first overall TQ of the 2018 Infinity Euro Nitro Series, the Serpent driver securing his 7th ENS career TQ by finishing second fastest to Erik Dankel in the final round of qualifying in Austria.  Having taken the opening two rounds of qualifying around the Aigen track, Q3 would see him flip his car with Thilo Tödtmann surprising everyone to come out on top after a last lap mistake from Dankel.  This meant Tödtmann had the opportunity to deny the World Champion pole for tomorrow’s 45-minute main but it would be Dankel who was fastest, completing the job he looked to do in the previous qualifier with just 6/100th in hand over Greiner.  With two from four to count, Greiner had the perfect score to secure pole while Dankel’s TQ run promoted him to 2nd ahead of Tödtmann who rounded out qualifying with a P5 run.  While having two P2 runs behind Greiner, championship leader and previous round Top Qualifier Jilles Groskamp will start 4th ahead of Francesco Tironi and Dirk Wischnewski.

Thilo Tödtmann has taken a surprise TQ run in the penultimate round of qualifying at the Infinity Euro Nitro Series in Aigen Austria.  Improving on his 6th in Q1 with a P4 in the second round, the Shepherd driver TQ’d the third qualifier over a very frustrated Eric Dankel, the Mugen driver throwing away a TQ run with a mistake on the last lap.  Benefiting from problems for championship contenders Dominic Greiner, Jilles Groskamp and Alessio Mazzeo, Tödtmann took his first ENS TQ run by 8/10th of a second over Dankel with Francesco Tironi completing the Top 3 just 2/100th off.

Greiner TQs opening qualifier at ENS Austria

Dominic Greiner has TQ’d the opening round of 1:10 qualifying at the Infinity Euro Nitro Series in Austria.  With qualifying originally scheduled to get underway yesterday evening before rain forced the cancellation of the second half of the day, Greiner picked up where he left off.  Fastest in free practice yesterday, those times determining the seeding after this morning’s planned controlled practice were made into untimed practice as the track proved much slower following the rain, Greiner took the first of the four qualifiers by a second over a much improved Jilles Groskamp.  Francesco Tironi would post the third fastest time followed by Alessio Mazzeo and Eric Dankel, the latter two both suffering early mistakes at the start of the 4-minutes.
