Kaufmann & Marzini win at Swiss EP Nats Rd2

The second round of the Swiss Nationals took place in Schaffhausen, Switzerland with the event attracting many drivers from across Switzerland and neighbouring Germany. The AMCS track is a fun track and has its own unique charm as the drivers stand is not located in the usual manner and is located on the left corner of the track. To this adds an ageing and sometimes bumpy surface, making setup not an easy task. In the Modified class, Marco Kaufmann (Xray) made a clean sweep by TQing all qualifying rounds and bringing home the win in all three A-mains to end the day in front of Serpent’s Dionys Stadler and Yokomo’s Michele Manzo.

Leonardo Varga TQs & wins at Austrian IC Track Nats

Round 1 of the Austrian IC Track National Championship was held at the LAMAC Ring in St. Paul last weekend. A total of 43 drivers made their entry and in the 1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring class it was Leonardo Varga securing the TQ in front of Christoph Rohrmoser and Franz Engel. The start of the A-main was very clean with Leonardo and Christoph pulling a gap from the rest of the field. Unfortunately, Christoph was later stopped by an engine-cut and thus lost the connection to the leader and after 45 minutes of exciting racing, Leonardo Varga crossed the finish line first with Christoph Rohrmoser and Franz Engel completing the all-Shepherd podium.
