1/10th IC Euro B Finals underway

The penultimate day draws to a close
As the 1/10 IC Track Euro B finals got underway this afternoon the 1/128 and 1/64 - A and B finals took place in fairly consistent conditions with the temperature falling as the day came to a close. The top 3 finishers from each heat are promoted to the next final and the general feeling from the pits is that we will be in for quite a bit of movement tomorrow, with lots of drivers keen to prove their abilities are higher than their current standings would suggest. In fact many have stated that they have gained invaluable practice time during todays heats that they missed out on during the poor conditions this week.
From the heights of the semi final where Eduardo Dulac finds himself 2nd on the grid and feels that this could be to his advantage (a 20 minute warm up perhaps!) To the grass roots finals where one of the main movers, British Simon Wood progressed from 7th on the grid in the 1/128 B Final to finish 1st, and then a 2nd in the 1/64 final. He's looking forward to the 1/32nd final and says his car is running better with each heat, whilst he's tuning into the circuit more with each lap.
Confirmed Main A Finalists:
1 Wullyamoz Mathieu FR
2 Barbera Guido IT
3 Singer Manuel AT
4 Claes Maxim BE
So as the penultimate day draws to a close, will those that move up the finals capitalise on the extra track time? or will their fatigue set in and leave the championship battle for those top four?

One thing's for sure - you can find out here tomorrow!
