Hoppe wins North German Regionals Rd2

The 2nd round of the 1/8th scale North German regional qualifiers was held last weekend at the AMC Hildesheim track, host of this weekends European 40+ Championships. With 25 drivers present in the class, most racers were at the track on the Saturday for setup work, track practice and the first qualifying runs. Kyosho racer Lars Hoppe, winner of the stock class at the 2006 DHI cup, set a new track record in his run but transponder problems at the event meant that the result didnt count and qualifying would be taken from the Sunday only, were Jürgen Stark took the pole position in front of Lars Hoppe in 2nd and Jens Stark in 3rd. In the race Hoppe could take the lead from the very start and pull out a 2 lap advantage to take the win after 30 minutes, coming home in front of Sepent driver Jan Asmer in 2nd and Mugen racer Konstantin Saritsaklis in 3rd.
