Peter Jovanovic does double at Serpent Australia Tour Race

Factory Capricorn driver Peter Jovanovic debuted the new Capricorn 1/8 scale Lab-C801 at the John Grant Raceway in Morebank Sydney for the 2011 Serpent Australia Tour Race last weekend. Having only received the car two days before the event he immediately put the new Italian car in the TQ and also put his Capricorn Lab-C01 Touring Car in TQ for the sedan class. In the final Peter drove a faultless race with both cars and took the win in the 1/8th class from Ric Bartolozzi in 2nd and Cory Ventouris in 3rd, while in the sedan class it was Alex Kouzis that ended the race in 2nd and Aaron Lee in 3rd.

Evans take first EOS 2WD Buggy A-Main

Dustin Evans has taken the opening A-main in 2WD Buggy at the Euro Offroad Series in Sweden heading home Top Qualifier Ryan Cavalieri and Hupo Honigl.  Mixing it with fellow American Cavalieri for much of the race, the Team Losi Racing driver eventually took to the front when Cavalieri came short over the double into the Kyosho corner.  Evans tried a move just after the large Durango double and ended up tangling with Cavalieri, a move the Reedy Race of Champions winner said was a little too aggressive.
