Arkadiusz Smyk dominates Polish EP on-road nats Rd3

Warsaw played host to the third round of the Polish electric on-road nationals that were held in multiple electric on-road classes including Pro Stock 13.5T and Stock 17.5T. ETS-style carpet made for good traction but the track itself was pretty difficult due to the lack of corner dots, meaning hitting the track barriers would likely kill the servo or other parts of the car. Arkadiusz Smyk was the man to beat in the Pro Stock and Stock qualifying and he would also come out fastest in the finals were he left Michal Wojcik and Bartosz Pochopien behind in second and third in the Pro Stock class, while in Stock Krystian Kopacki and Pawel Trella ended the day in second and third respectively.

Von Elling family sweep Swedish on-road nats Rd3

The third round of the Swedish electric on-road nationals was held at the IRC Arena in Linkoping in the three classes of 1/10th Touring, Formula and 1/12th scale. About 60 drivers signed in for the event that was run on a medium grip track with “Baku-style” narrow passages, tight chicanes as well as non-forgiving walls and corner markings. The Formula class was dominated by the Von Elling family that occupied the top 3 spots with Frederik and Marcus battling it out in qualifying as well as the finals and it was Frederik that came out on top after the A-mains, taking the win from Marcus in second and Günther in third, making it also an Xray 1-2-3 on the podium.
