The Chinese National Championship was held in Yongkang City, China in very hot weather conditions. Air temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius and track temperatures of up to 65 degrees Celsius made for challenging racing conditions and in addition the drivers of the 1/8th Nitro On-road class had to cope with the relatively short and narrow track.

Claus Ryeskov takes Danish 200mm Championship

The final round of the Danish IC Track National Championship was held in Naestved last weekend. Going into the final race pre-event favourite Claus Ryeskov had a points advantage over his competitors Rene Kjellerup and Chris Nielsen but still needed a top 3 finish to seal the championship. With a TQ Claus made a first step towards the championship and started from pole into the A-main, leaving Chris Nielsen and Rene Kjellerup behind in 2nd and 3rd. Chris Nielsen in his debut season looked like he would be able to challenge Claus but once the main got underway Ryeskov never looked back to take the win while Chris was battling with Rene Kjellerup and Lars Bo Larsen for the final podium spots. Ultimately it was Chris who maintained the 2 spot. In the overall ranking it was Claus with another national championship title from Chris Nielsen 2nd and Rene Kjellerup who rounded out the all-Xray podium.
