Large Scale Onroad Grandprix – Report

The third Large Scale Onroad Grandprix was held at the MRC REAL80 club in Groningen, The Netherlands last weekend. 48 Touring and four Formula drivers signed in, making for some competitive racing. Friday saw controlled practice, however due to rain it wouldn’t take place but thanks to a drying track later that day the drivers were able to get at least some laps in. Qualifying on Saturday was topped by a nice BBQ and with the ever improving grip and the super-pole race, a first for the REAL80 club, things came along nicely for the highlights on Sunday. In the Touring A-final it was Bernard-Alain Arnaldi who did not give away the first place from start to finish. Arnaldi has been unstoppable this year, winning every race and having scored an extra point in Leipzig and Groningen for taking the top qualifier spot. Even with a 4th and last race to go in Zagreb, Arnaldi has crowned himself winner of the GP Series and this year also as the European Champion.
