Daniel Carlsson wins at MSEC Rd3

Round three of the MSEC cup was held in Åtvidaberg in the middle of Sweden, this past weekend. In the Touring 13.5T class it was Buggy ace Elias Johansson who set the pace in the qualifiers. Only 0.7s off was team mate Daniel Carlsson and lining up 3rd on the grid was Marcus von Elling. In the finals Elias Johansson had some hard times when grip came up that added to some electronic problems. Daniel Carlsson took full advantage of this and brought home the win in A1 and A2. Before A3 the remainder of the podium was still quite open and Elias Johansson took the win in front of Markus von Elling, so the overall result was Daniel Carlsson (Team Associated) taking the win in front of Marcus von Elling (Xray) and rounding out podium was Elias Johansson (Team Associated).

Thanks to Daniel Carlsson for the update.

Prümper tops EWS International after Saturday

Saturday’s action at the 2018 EWS International concluded with Infinity’s Yannic Prümper atop the ranking lists in the Modified class. The German had started off the day with a second place in the opening qualifier, and backed that up with a TQ run in the evening’s Q3 round. Describing how the whole Infinity team had improved throughout the weekend, the multi-time podium-finisher at the event said that it had “started pretty bad, but we worked together and found pace again”. He won’t make any changes to his IF14 for tomorrow, but will use the free practice round scheduled in the morning to run in his second set of race tyres.

Spencer Rivkins wins at rained-out Fall Brawl

One of the best nitro races on the east coast, the 2018 Fall Brawl is always jammed pack with awesome competition, killer layout, and a truly fun atmosphere. As fun as the track was … everything was just about perfect, unfortunately, mother nature is going to win any outdoor war and halfway through qualifying, the rain came and continued into the next day washing away the weekend of racing. However, with almost two rounds in the books, the race was called and awards were given based on the qualifying action that took place. After a disappointing result from the 2018 IFMAR World Championships in Perth, Australia, Spencer Rivkin wanted a bit of redemption in the Pro Nitro Buggy class. Back into 1/8th scale mode, Spencer made the trip from Surprise, Arizona to his first ever Fall Brawl experience and loved it. Badlands is definitely a track suited to Spencer’s driving style and we saw him really distance himself from his competition in quals 1 and 2. As the only Pro Nitro driver to turn 12 laps in qualifying, Spencer grabbed two TQs before the rain came and was awarded 1st place once the race was called.
