A busy Summer season starts with 2 ‘B’ championships, while next year the 200mm nitro on-road class sees a combined A and B championship being run in Turkey. The 2 40+ titles round out the season along with the usual ‘A’ titles that are up for grabs in the Summer. New is a dedicated European Championship for the growing 1/8th E-buggy class that will be held in August at the Austrian Fehring track. Beside the introduction of the 1/8th E-buggy class, EFRA will also try and establish the 1/8th nitro GT class with the governing body trying to evaluate a sensible set of rules based on existing GT/Rally rules. Several classes also saw clarifications on existing rules with the electric classes are not allowed to run “hybrid” motors built from the parts of different manufacturers anymore. The 1/12th scale Stock class will run 13.5T motors in the future and 1/8th nitro buggies will have to use 16 percent nitro fuel from 2016 on. Full AGM details can be found here.

Josh Cyrul doubles at International Indoor Champs

During the recent International Indoor Championships Josh Cyrul wrapped up both the TQ and win fin the World GT Expert Modified and 12th Scale 13.5 classes at this year’s 10th Anniversary event. Josh was pretty much untouchable all week long. He TQ’d every round of qualifying in both classes and won both A-Mains wire to wire. In 12th scale, Josh piloted his car to TQ with the only 45 lap run in the class. He then backed that TQ up by doing the only 45 lapper in the main, for the flawless win. In Expert World GT Mod, Josh again was just scary fast. In fact, his World GT lap times would have easily put him in the top half of the 12th scale Modified A-main. In the A-Main Josh lapped everyone up to 2nd place, and his fast lap of 9.6 seconds was 4 tenth quicker the 2nd place Hupo Honigl’s 10.0. Josh went on to do the only 31 lap run of the week in that class also.
