Dutch 200mm Nitro On-road Champs Rd3 – Report

Round three of the Dutch 1/10th 200mm National Championship was held at the MAC de Baanbrekers club in Rucphen. Saturday’s weather permitted any dry track practice so most drivers used the day to prepare their rain cars and help out others. Luckily Sunday started off dry but with the previous heavy rainfall the grip level was pretty low and it had to build up over the day. Without any practice and with the changing track conditions the three qualifiers would be an interesting affair for all competitors that had to run mandatory Novarossi Sturm engines, Hipex low-noise pipes and Enneti hand-out tyres. In the National class Daan Jacobs took a close TQ, one second in front of Pedro Rombouts (Xray) and Julius Kolf (Serpent). Roy Bakker (Shepherd) would round out the top 4. In the slightly slower Nomac class, Bas Bakker lead Jos Remmerde and Arjan Versteeg for a Kyosho 1-2-3. Jurmin Etnel (Serpent) completed the top 4.

RC Lemans Series Rd5 – Report

The MRG Genk track in Belgium played host to the fifth round of the 2016 RC Lemans Series this past weekend. With Europe’s weather playing havoc this Summer, Saturday’s practice only allowed for very limited running and most of the drivers tried to make up lost time early Sunday morning. In the LMP1 Modified class, Tim Altmann was the pre-event favourite thanks to three wins and a third place finish with a second place at round three would be enough to earn him the overall championship early. Another fun fact of the weekend was first time RC Lemans starter, Markus Mobers. The 1/12th scale specialist and former national and European Pro10 champion made his maiden outing with a brushless and LiPo-powered Pro10.

Claus Ryeskov wins at Danish Nationals Rd2

The Zealand-based Næstved RC track in Denmark played host to the second round of the Danish Nitro On-road Nationals. The battle of the weekend in the 1/10th 200mm class would be between Martin NO Hansen and Claus Ryeskov with both being separated by only about 0.2 seconds while behind the two Rene, Tom and Bo Morten would be in their own league. Ultimately the TQ would went to Martin and he would hold onto that position in the opening stages of the main final while Claus made a small mistake that cost him about 10 seconds. Just before the third round of pitstops Martin ran out of fuel, allowing Claus to take the lead by about one and a half laps. Martin tried to recover and he was even in a distance to attack Claus but after a while the second gear of Martin’s car broke, allowing Claus to take it a bit easier and to bring home the win from Martin on the runner-up spot. Clean Kjellerup would round out the podium while Tom Limkilde and Bo Morten Larsen came in fourth and fifth respectively.
