MCD Racing’s Dario Veseli is the new European Large Scale Touring Car Champion, the multiple Large Scale Offroad Champion claiming his first onroad title at the Real80 track in the Netherlands after a late error from Genius Racing’s Bernard-Alain Arnaldi. Having set the second fastest time qualifying, the Croatian driver secured a direct place into the final alongside defending champion Edoardo Repetti who was Top Qualifier. An earlier mistake from the pole sitter would see the Italian Mecatech driver drop down the order and Arnaldi take the lead with the French driver looking set to add a fourth European title ahead of Veseli. With less than a minute to run in the 30-minute final, Arnaldi went off at the end of the straight allowing Veseli through to take the win by 1-seconds. Arnali’s car would later be found to have an incorrect flywheel diameter leading to him being excluded from the results. Sindre Undheim would be promoted to second with Repetti completing the podium.
