ETS Rd2 Denmark – Update

ETS Rd2 Denmark - Update

With the 2nd round of the Much More sponsored European Touring Series in just over 2 weeks (14th – 16th of March) in Vejle Denmark, the organizers have announced that due to the great durability of the Much More Sweep control tire, the Modified class racers will now only be supplied with 2 sets, not 3 as previously stated. This will of course be reflected in the entry cost, which has been reduced from EUR100 to EUR80, and will also include a great t-shirt, the design of which we will show you soon. Pro Stock class entry will stay at EUR 100 but includes 2 sets of Sweep tires, the t-shirt and the fantastic Team Checkpoint Money 19T Spec motor. Finally, to encourage new racers, Scotty Ernst has revealed that they will run a Stock class, with racers able to use their own Stock 27 Turn Motor, a great way of letting newcomers experience a world class event. Entry fee will be EUR 30 and will include 1 set of Much More hand out tires and the event T shirt.

Prumper bros. win Corally Thunderdays

Serpent are reporting on last weekends Corally Thunderdays that took place at Geilenkirchen in Germany where it was brothers Yannic and Bjorn Prumper driving Serpent S400s that took a 1-2 in the Modified class. On Saturday Björn set the fastest time of the weekend and also set a new track-record, however Yannic could not at first match his brother’s times but the reason for this was later discovered, a broken front end of his chassis plate. After replacing the damaged chassis Yannic’s lap times improved dramatically and this allowed him to join his brother in the final. Overtaking Corally driver Lars Treder for 2nd position early in the final, Yannic followed his brother for the rest of the race, which saw Bjorn take the win from Yannic in 2nd and Treder in 3rd.

De Felici takes National Warm up win

Xray have a report from Italian NT1 racer Giorgio De Felici who was attending the warm up race for the first round of the Italian 200mm Nationals Championships held at the Cassino track. With around 60 drivers in attendance it was European B Champion Alessio Mazzeo driving a Serpent that took the pole position ahead of Giorgio De Felici in 2nd. In the final De Felici started with very large diameter tires and this caused some problems at the start, but meant he had more tires at the end of the race, and with Mazzeo sidelined early on, he could get into the lead and take the win ahead of Serpent racer Simone Peretti in 2nd and Xray racer Stefano De Rossi in 3rd.
