The fourth round of the French nitro touring car National Championships took place last weekend in Sallanches (Haute-Savoie) in France. In the Elite class it was European B Champion Frederic Bourrillon that too the top qualifying spot with his Orion powered KM chassis, while in the National class Capricorn/OS driver Vincent Berthon was the TQ man. In the Elite finals Capricorn/Orion driver Léo Arnold came out on top ahead of team mate Basile Concialdi in 2nd with Xray/RB driver Thomas Guillon 3rd. In the National final, Berthon could carry forward his pace from qualifying to win, with Mugen/Novarossi driver Jonathan Gergen 2nd and Théry Persyn with his RB powered Xray 3rd.
The second round of the Danish nationals was held in Tølløse on their very nice outdoor track. The track is high speed with a tricky chicane out to the straight. In the morning, just before the practice heat began, the rain arrived and the track was very wet, meaning a lot of drivers decided not to participate. In the Pro Stock qualifying it was Serpent driver Steven M.Olsen that was the top qualifier while in Modified it was Mike Gosvig with the Tamiya who claimed the top spot.

The race saw 48 drivers attending from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, 23 drivers in the 1:8 class and 25 in the 1:10 200mm class. The weather forecast for the whole weekend was bad, with rain forecast on all three days, though we had a good time of practice on Friday with pretty nice weather. The traction was good, but the tire wear was extremely high. During the practice many drivers in both classes showed their skills and everything was set for a tough and nice race.
