Coelho becomes first driver to pull off double ENS win

Having dominated the earlier 1:10 A-Main in France, Bruno Coelho has gone on to also win the 1:8 A-Main at the opening round of the Euro Nitro Series.  The feat makes the Xray driver the first in the championship’s history to win both finals on the same day and further highlights the Portuguese ace’s amazing ability to drive anything RC.  Having shown great form in 1:8 qualifying, a class in which he has previously never featured, he would carry that form into the 45-minute A-Main putting it up to World Champion Simon Kurzbuch.  Unfortunately the showdown was to last only 15-minutes as Kurzbuch’s chances of making it six ENS wins in a row would end with a flame out on the in-lap for his first scheduled tyre stop. While the Shepherd driver would push hard to try salvage a podium, while having a great battle for 2nd with Jilles Groskamp he would again run out of fuel on the last lap, his eventual classification 7th.  Having bumped up from the B-Main, Groskamp would be delighted with second with Toni Gruber benefiting from Kurzbuch running dry to complete the podium on what has been a hugely successful first visit for the ENS to the Mulhouse track.

Thomas Musso doubles at French League 4 race

The Carca track recently hold a round of the French League 4 series and it was Thomas Musso who walked away with a double win in the Open E-Buggy and E-Truggy classes. In the Buggy class Thomas Musso (HB Racing) and Jean-Pierrick Sartel (Xray) battled it out for the win and being tie on points after all A-mains were completed meant the tie-breaker would decide the overall win. Ultimately Thomas would prevail thanks to the quicker times and so he grabbed the overall win from Jean-Pierrick in 2nd while Sebastien Wartelle (HB Racing) rounded out the podium result in 3rd. Elsewhere in the E-Truggy class it was again Thomas who walked away with the win after making a clean sweep in the qualifiers and finals.
