Markus Hellquist takes Swedish IC Track title

The Lidköpings R/C Club hosted the Swedish Nitro and Electric On-road Nationals this past weekend with classes run included 1/8th IC Track, 1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring as well as Electric Modified Touring. In the premier class of 1/8th IC Track it was Mikael Fransson with the overall TQ a narrow 0.1 seconds in front of Alexander Andersson. Markus Hellquist came in 3rd overall, another 0.2 seconds back. In the main final Markus kept the car on the wheels, and after 41 minutes and with one fuel stop remaining he was right behind Niclas Nilsson, fighting for the win. Markus’ mechanic pulled out a quick pit stop, letting him exit the pit lane just in front of Niclas to take the lead Markus would hold onto until the chequered flag, taking the win just 0.8 seconds in front of Niclas Nilsson. Niklas Johansson came in 3rd overall, already three laps behind.
