Markus Hellquist wins SSIC Rd6

The final round of the South Swedish Indoor Cup for electric touring cars was held in the very South of Sweden in the small town of Tomelilla. The track was quite technical with low traction, making many drivers suffering from rear end traction. In the practice rounds Markus Hellquist laid down the fastest lap ahead of Daniel Carlsson and Jonas Andersson. After 3 rounds of qualifying with the best round to count the order kept the same, with Hellquist being roughly one lap ahead of Daniel Carlsson and Jonas Andersson.  In the finals Markus kept on with his previous pace and never let the cars behind him come close to fight for the victory. Behind Markus there wasn’t a whole lot of action either, the top 3 kept the same in all three finals resulting in the scoreboard being exactly the same as the qualifying for the top 3.

Ollie Currie wins at HNMC Winter Series Rd12

Round 12 of the HNMC Winter Series brought plenty of guys out to play at the recently re-vamped Herts track.

Qualifying saw Ollie Currie laying it down, and after a mistake in round 1 costing him that TQ he made no such mistakes in rounds 2 and 3 to take the overall TQ for the meeting in fine style.

Max Flurer wins big at 2015 Palmetto Classic

Still in its first year of operation, the new and improved Beach Hobbies of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina hosted the 2015 Palmetto Classic this past weekend. The event spanned two days of racing on 6000 square feet of Carolina clay. 179 entries tested their skills against one another on the technical yet fast layout and the surface itself remained very consistent with tons of traction throughout the festivities requiring little more than the occasional lap with the leaf blower. This allowed the race director Myssie Hanna to move through the four action-packed rounds of qualifying on Saturday and double A-mains on Sunday with great efficiency.
