Last weekend saw the 2nd round of the German West regional qualifiers take place at Stoppelhopsern Oberhausen. The race was won by Pro-Line Indoor winner Joern Neumann, driving his Durango modified Thunder Tiger, who put on a great show to win despite not having any brakes for the entire race due to a radio fault.

A while back we showed you pictures of a new Russian made prototype touring car that has been tearing up the tracks in Russia. The car we showed you before was shaft drive and sported the motor mounted perpendicularly to the shaft and although we never did see how that worked along comes another Tourer, this time its fully carbon which makes it extremely light. The main feature of this, and the previous car too, is the fact that they dont appear to have shock absorbers or even anywhere to mount them and are basically flat pan electric touring cars.

Just a brief update to let you know that Serpent 720 driver Alessio Mazzeo has won the 2007 1/10th scale European B championships held in Roeselare, Belgium. The young Italian won by one lap after 45 minutes of action, having dropped down just behind Eric Dankel after a tire change, but the advantage of this change was enough that he could overhaul the German racer and regain the lead. Dankel took the 2nd place for Mugen in a very close battle with Rocco Ania of Italy driving a Team Magic G4s. We hope to have a full report later on in the day.
UPDATE: Added the full final day report below.
