EFRA 1/12th Track Championships 2016 Qualifying Report.

After a hectic day of qualifying at the Hudy arena in Slovakia, the grid has been set for the 2 championships at stake; the EFRA Stock (13.5T Blinky) and Modified 1/12th European Championships.

Modified Qualifying

Alexander Hagberg was the class of the field as he took his 3rd consecutive pole in the Modified European championships.
However he was also his own worst enemy as mistakes leading to car failure causing crashes, resulted in 2 non-finishes in rounds 3 and 4 but Alex bounced back to take the final 2 rounds to add to his TQ in the first 2 runs to give him an unassailable lead.
Olly Jeffries TQ’d 1 round and qualified 2nd overall, but whilst having the pace of Alex too many small mistakes on the punishing track layout at the Hudy Arena meant that over 8 minutes he was no match for his Xray team mate.
Markus Mobers managed to claim 3rd with a last gasp final round performance eclipsing surprise 4th Rnd TQ’er Dionys Stadler.
