Jernej Vuga is EC ‘B’ Top qualifier

Local ace Jernej Vuga continues to stamp his authority on this years 1/8th scale European B Championship, held this week in Slovenia, by TQ’ing the event for the very first time. The Mugen driver set a fastest time of 18 laps 5:03.283 in the 3rd round to finish over 2 seconds clear of his nearest rival, German Serpent racer Philip Eberle, who put in a blistering final qualifier to jump 5 places to line up on the front row alongside Vuga. Third was Mugen racer Giuseppe D’Angelo from Italy who leap frogged ahead of fellow countryman Michele Romagnoli following a strong final heat, meaning that Romagnoli dropped from 2nd to 4th after failing to improve on his time set in yesterday’s opening heat.
