Savoya takes Semi B but Batlle on pole
Renaud Savoya has won the second Semi final of the 2010 Euros despite his car flaming out on the last lap. The defending Champion was on target for a 29 lap run but his RB powered Mugen came to a stop a third of the way around the final lap. A marshal got the car but then ran across the loop giving him a faster run than Batlle but the time keepers removed the rapid 36 second lap and he will now start second in the final.

Yannick Aigoin is the Top Qualifier here in Portugal and going on the form of the previous four European Championships, is on target to lift his third EFRA title.

Claus Ryeskov wins Rd3 of Danish Nats
The 3rd round of the Danish National was held on the last weekend of June and great weather greeted the competitors in Næstved on Zealand. After qualification it was Martin Lissau on pole followed by Martin Hansen 2nd and Claus Ryeskov in 3rd. The start of the finals saw Lissau, Hansen and Ryeskov maintain their starting order. Before the first fuel stop Hansen has overtaken Lissau after he went too wide into the corner after the straight. Just before the second refueling the leader ran out of fuel and it cost him two laps. Lissau was again leading the race and maintained it for most of the race , but suddenly there was a big bang. Lissau had battery problems and had driven straight into a post, destroying the car and putting him out of the race. Hansen ran out of full several more times and this meant that Ryeskov could drive safely home and win the race with Martin Hansen holding on for 2nd and Thomas Larsen in 3rd.
Thanks to Claus Ryeskov for the report.
