In the 1/8th Nitro class 1 category Oliver Mack was able to secure the TQ from where he led the 30-minute final from start to finish.

Winner of round 1 of the Regionals, in the final Dennis was able to come in 2nd, some four laps down as Olaf Engelmann completed the top 3 results.

Simon Kurzbuch strikes at Swiss Championships Rd3

This past weekend the MRCL Langenthal invited to the third round of Swiss IC Track Championships. The resurfaced track was completed only three weeks ago and the club took the opportunity to celebrate its reopening. In addition to a perfectly organised race, there was also a supporting program with BBQ, fireworks, public-viewing, music and cold drinks. In the 1/8th class the pole position went to Silvio Hächler after a close fight. In the Superpole race, Simon repeated his masterpiece from last weekend, setting the new best time in the very first lap and thus secured his direct starting position in the final. After Silvio had a bad start into the main race, Simon was able to take over the lead before the first corner which he was able to extend to a gap of three seconds. Unfortunately Silvio had to retire the race in the 52nd lap due to an engine failure. Simon Kurzbuch (Shepherd), now without pressure, finished the race confidently and won the 3rd round of the Swiss Championship ahead of the Xray duo of Mattia Pesenti and Luca Martinelli, who crossed the finish line only four seconds apart.
