Oliveras & Harris win at JConcepts Super Cup Rd2

Round 2 of the JConcepts Super Cup was held at Dean’s Discount Hobbies in New Port Richey, Florida this past weekend. With 80 entries and some great weather, the racing atmosphere was very relaxed and fun for all. The track started out a little slick for round 1 of qualifying, but by round 2 the groove was up as racers began to rip the throttle and lay down the rubber. The traction continued to come up as the double A-mains rolled around providing some exciting action in all classes. When the dust had settled and in the 2WD Mod Buggy A-main it was top qualifier, Julien Oliveras with the win from Paul Wynn in 2nd and Ryan Casteline in 3rd.

Danielius Staliunas wins at Lithuanian Nationals Rd2

The second round of the Lithuanian Electric Off-road Nationals was held recently and in 4WD Buggy it was Danielius Staliunas with the overall TQ after the qualifiers. A1 then saw Danielius building a gap on the field right away, however a mishap and a bent turnbuckle as a result made things interesting again. Nevertheless he brought home the win in the opening A-main. A2 was a bit of a disaster for the pole-sitter as worn-out tyres meant his buggy’s pace would drop significantly and after a few mishaps Danielius found himself dead last. He tried to fight back but over-pushed his car and after another mistake he broke his car and scored a DNF. For A3 Danielius put on a new set of tyres and with a fast and controlled pace he brought home the win and with it the overall victory from I. Vilcinskas in 2nd and L. Grigas in 3rd.

Ronald Völker victorious at ETS Daun

Ronald Völker took a spectacular victory at the ETS in Daun, Germany this weekend, as the Yokomo driver made advantage of his pole position to hold off two intense challenges from the second place starting Marc Rheinard. The first A Final was one of the closest races in Touring Car for many years, as Marc sat glued to the rear bumper of Ronald for the first half of the race. Marc, now racing for Tonisport following his departure from the Infinity team at the end of 2019, was using an Awesomatix chassis and showed to be evenly matched on pace with Ronald. Twice Marc managed to get his car alongside his long-time rivals, but both times, Ronald was able to fight back and narrowly hold the lead. Into the second half of the race, Ronald seemed to settle into a better rhythm and was able to open a small gap to Marc. Bruno Coelho, starting fourth on the grid for Xray, got past third place qualifier Yannic Prumper as the attention of the crows was focussed on the top two.
