Chris Tosolini wins Season Finale in Greece

The 5th and final round of the Greek 1/10 Nitro National Championships took place at the Arena Track in Aspropyrgos recently with two special guests, Chris Tosolini and Mirko Rossi. Greek Federation EL-ME in cooperation with Kyosho Hellas have continued their effort to improve the level of radio control races in their country this year and gave Greek modelers the opportunity to compete with multiple World finalist Chris Tosolini and collect knowledge for their Sirio engines from Mirko Rossi. Chris Tosolini dominated the race holding best lap, TQ and 1st position, this is despite the fact that he spent the whole weekend giving setup tips and advice to all racers, instead of focusing on his car. Mr. Rossi on the other hand took the opportunity to help racers better understand their Sirio engines and clutches with tips for mileage and performance. Runner up on the day was Kostas Sidiropoulos, with Spiros Piknis taking 3rd.

Barend Myburgh is 1/5th scale World Champion

Eighteen year old Barend Myburgh has won the 1/5th scale World Championships, held in South Africa, as a result of an impressive meeting long performance, winning all his qualifying heats and thus taking pole position for the one hour final. Jumping straight into the lead and being never headed, Myburg won by almost 14 laps from Rodney Michael with Simon Bradley a further four laps away in third position. Whilst Myburg dictated the terms of the race throughout, Michael drove determinedly from fifth on the grid to earn second the hard way – battling Bradley and Andries Oosthuizen (fourth) for a podium spot for much of the race. Despite at one stage having to pit to replace a failed battery, Michael’s consistency and reliability eventually was rewarded as both Bradley and Oosthuizen suffered mechanical problems in the second half of the race. Willem Hendrick Barnard was fifth, followed in by Willem Vorster and 15 year old Jean Pierre Oosthuizen. Disappointingly this major international race attracted only 7 drivers, all South African.
