Isaac Amoròs wins Catalan Pro10 Champs Rd2

The second round of the Catalan Electric Touring Championship CCTE was held at the AMSA track. The event was held alongside the Catalan Pro10 Championship and running both classes made for high grip track conditions. In the Pro10 Modified class Marc Valero won the first qualifying round while Isaac Amoròs won Q2. With Jaime Lacuesta taking the third round things would be pretty interesting in the finals. Ultimately the TQ went to Isaac but Marc looked to be set for some fierce battles in the A-mains. On a very technical track and with little space to overtake, the first final round was extremely frenetic, with a couple of risky overtakes between the two main finalists but both scored their fastest laps in the final A-main with a 17.726s for Isaac and a 17.770 for Marc. In the end Isaac would take the day’s win from Marc in 2nd, Jaime Lacuesta 3rd and Sergio Lacuesta 4th. In the championship Isaac is leading the standings from Jaime and Marc going into round 3 of the championship that will be held on the 2nd of July at the Rubi track.

Thanks to Marc Valero for the report.

Burak Kilic wins Father’s Day race

Schwendt in the eastern part of Germany recently held their Father’s Day race attracting nearly 100 entries from Germany and nearby Poland. Agama’s Burak Kilic would be the driver to beat as he took the TQ after the three qualifiers and he would also take the pole position for the 30-minute Nitro Buggy main from brother Berkan. The latter would put some serious pressure on his older brother and he eventually found a way past but towards the end of the main the tyres on Berkan’s Agama buggy started to wear away meaning Burak would be able to bring home the win from Mugen racer Florian Müller while Berkan had to settle for 3rd overall.

Dutch 1/10th Nitro On-road Nationals Rd2 – Report

Round 2 of the Dutch 1/10th Nitro On-road National Championship was held at the technical and twisty track of Gouda. The event was held together with the growing Serpent GT Cup and after round 1 was washed away by the weather, the second round would be held in perfect weather conditions all weekend. In the 200mm class and after qualifying, Daan took a convincing pole with Julius in 2nd some four seconds behind but only 0.018s ahead of Milan in 3rd. The Dutch racing format sees double 20-minute finals and results being based on a points system meaning two good results are needed to take the upper spots. This proved to be the issue for Daan, who had an engine cut at the start of the first final. Julius could take the lead from the tone, but as he had planned an extra fuel stop for safety he had to push the whole final as Milan stayed very close. Ultimately it would work out and Julius would grab the win in leg 1.
