Alessio Mazzeo takes Euro ‘B’ pole position

Alessio Mazzeo

Just a quick update to say that qualifying for the Euro ‘B’ championships in Belgium is over and it was Italian Alessio Mazzeo that has sealed his top spot with a super quick run in Saturday mornings rocket round. The cooler conditions in the morning meant that it would be a quick run and so if you didnt improve this morning you werent in with a chance and could see yourself moving backwards. Mazzeo, driving for Serpent, improved his time by 4 seconds to put him 6 seconds ahead of new 2nd place Renaux who improved by over 2 seconds to take the position, demoting Dankel and Beat to 3rd and 4th and knocking Daan Jacobs out of the top 4 into 5th. The lower finals now take place today with the main finals being run tomorrow.

Russian EP Off-Road Cup Rd1

Last weekend saw the first round of the Russian Electric Buggy Off-Road Cup take place at the RC2 track in Moscow. The first outdoor buggy event of the year, the race took place under windy and cool conditions but it was dry and so the racing was very competitive. In the 2wd class (above) it was Dmitriy Malyshko that took the win, driving his Associated RC10B4 ahead of 2 more Assos, with Victor Spiridonov in 2nd and Alex Gorbunov in 3rd.

1/10th European B Championships – Day 4

1/10th European B Championships - Day 4

So yesterday (Thursday) was day 4 from the 1/10th European Championships in Roeselare in Belgium and apart from yet another day of practice split into groups, it was also opening ceremony day. We have a few pictures from today and some results which seem to only show the final timed practice heat from today and so we cant get a good overview but if we are taking this final run as a proper test, it would see lady racer Sabrina Lechner for Mugen on top followed by Mirko Morgenstein racing for Serpent in 2nd with 3rd going to Kyosho racer Mark Kriesig. But if we were to look only at individual lap times from the information we can access it would put Erik Dankel from Germany on top with a 15.255 followed by Jerome Renaux (15.267), Alessio Mazzeo (15.294), Walti Beat (15.426) and Stephen Brown (15.433). Qualifying proper starts today (Friday) with 3 rounds, with the final round being run on Saturday morning and all are xpected to be run under sunny conditions.
