Shasa Lackner dominates Swiss 1/8th Nats Rd1

Last weekend saw the opening round of the Swiss Championship take place in Lostallo, home of last year’s World Championships. Qualifying saw Motonica team driver Shasa Lackner take the pole position with a fastest lap of 19.90 seconds, the only driver to go under the magical 20 seconds, to end up 3 seconds clear of 2nd place qualifier Silvio Hächler. Simon Kurzbuch and Luca Martinelli completed the top 4 direct qualifiers following the 7 minute heats. In the final an early problem for the pole man Lackner saw him lose 2 laps as he needed to replace the gearbox, but a determined drive to the end of the 45 minute final saw him claw back the time to win by 1 lap ahead of Silvio Hächler in 2nd and Luca Martinelli in 3rd a lap further back.
