European Championship 1:8 in Montbonnet.

Back at home after one week of intense 1:8 racing in France, Montbonnet for the European championship.

After 2 great results in the first two rounds of the ens with a victory and second place I travelled high motivated to France. The weather forecast says brilliant weather for that week with temperatures over 30 degrees every day.

We had three days of free practise and we tested a lot with the 988 and my O.S Speed engines. From the first rollout on this track it seems to be that the chicane would be the challenging part of the track. It was far away and you couldn´t see the entry, the middle and the exit.

Round 5 of Danish nationals is in the books.



Saturday was simply amazing, the sun was out, light wind and almost no clouds in the sky. Weather was extremely hot and this caused some people to struggle with engine temps. The technical track in Bjæverskov Denmark demands a lot of power out of the tight corners however tirewear was very good.

After 4 round of qualifying Nikolai was TQ, Jan 2nd and Julie 7. In the final Nikolai claimed an easy victory by 2 laps to teammate Jan that struggled with a rear gearbox failure from about the 25min mark. To complete the day Julie had a solid run and claimed 3rd witch this made an all Team Vinderup RC podium.

Having had two practice days before the race, where the car had a very good balance I felt well prepared for the ETS.

From the first practice runs the car felt very good and was fast. So I could focus on getting my driving right. I did not even need to make a single setup change during the race.

Compared to other cars, my F110 SF4 had good steering and was still stable in the rear and I could carry more cornerspeed through the fast turns.

Qualifying went well, after 3 runs, there were 3 different drivers with a TQ run, of these my run was the fastest. So it was already clear that I would start at least from the second place.

Unfortunately my last qualifying run was not perfect, so I would start 2nd.
