Coelho wins 2WD at Euros Warm-up

Bruno Coelho took the win in 2WD at the 1:10 Electric Offroad Euros Warm-up Race today in the Netherlands.  With the RACO2000 astro surface track in Utrecht hosting the EFRA European Championships from July 17th to 22nd,  the Warm-up Race attracted a strong entry of factory drivers including reigning champion Tommy Hall.  In qualifying it was top Dutch racer Wesley van Helmond who became the Top Qualifier with two TQ runs from 4 rounds with team-mate Michal Orlowski making it a Schumacher 1-2 as he topped the final qualifier.  Coelho’s Xray was fastest in Q3 putting him third on the grid in front of Hall’s Team Associated.  In the triple finals Coelho would improve his buggy with the new pace allowing him to win A1 & 2 for the overall victory.  With Orlowski winning A3, the podium was a reverse of the qualifying order with Van Helmond completing the Top 3 as Hall finished 4th and Xray’s Max Götzl fifth.  Tomorrow drivers will battle it out for the 4WD win.
