Dario Balestri takes EFRA 1/8th IC Track title

The 2019 EFRA 1/8th IC Track European Championships were held in Montbonnot-Saint-Martin, France this past weekend. In the EC-A category it was Infinity’s Dario Balestri with the overall TQ, after winning two of the five qualifying rounds from Shepherd’s Simon Kurzbuch, who also scored to round TQ as Carmine Raiola (Infinity) came in 3rd, winning a single qualifier. The Super Pole race then went in Simon’s favour who took the win to start from 2nd into the 45-minute A-main encounter with Simon being able to build up pressure on his rival Dario right from the start. The lead changed several times and the fair duel between the permanent rivals lasted until the very last lap. After 45 minutes Dario won by just a few car lengths in front of Simon making this European Championship final one of the most exciting ones. In 3rd it was Infinity’s Jilles Groskamp with the final podium spot, coming from 10th on the grid.

Lars Stub-Holm wins at Swedish Nitro On-road Cup Rd3

Last weekend the third round of the Swedish Nitro On-road Cup was held at the technical Staffanstorp Raceway track. The race attracted drivers from Sweden, Denmark and Norway and in the 1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring class it was clear right from the start that it would be a close affair up front with five drivers being on the same pace. Ultimately it was Rasmus Nielsen who set the pace in qualifying by claiming the TQ with a rocket drive in the last round of the qualifying. Lars Stub-Holm lined up in 2nd after being outpaced by three seconds over the 4-minutes round and Georg Ellingsen had to settle for the 3rd spot only six tenths behind Lars.

Felix Law wins at rain-affected HKRCSA Rd2

Round 2 of the HKRCSA EP Series was held at the Tom Racing Circuit in Hong Kong last weekend. Serpent’s Felix Law was in control of things in the Touring Modified class qualifiers, taking three of the four rounds for the overall TQ from Q4 winner, Xray’s Kevin Lau. Awesomatix driver, Fai Ho came in 3rd with three 2nd place finished. Unfortunately the race director had to call the event a day after the qualifiers as heavy rain made it impossible to run the final legs, meaning the overall results would be based on the qualifying results, handing Felix the win from Lau and Fai with Lau taking the runner-up spot in the tie-breaker with Fai.
