1/10th IC Euro B Championships - It

The excitement builds!
Good morning from a chilly Lostallo where the final day of the 1/10 IC Track Euro B Championships is taking place. With 10 twenty minute races today building up to that all important 45 minute 1/10th IC Euro B final it's set to be an action packed day!
So far with the 1/32 A and B finals complete, the excitement continues for Simon Wood whom we spoke to yesterday. He came 1st in the first race of the day, with 51 laps and a 3 second lead on second place Théry Persin. They are both now through to the 1/16 B final and as I write this, 10 minutes in - they are both currently battling within the top 3.
In the 1/32nd A final, pole man Alexey Egorov lost vital laps when his engine cut out and was forced to wait while his pic crew got him back up and running. Mirco Thalheimer eventually took the top spot and he and three others now prepare for the 1/16 B final.
The three top drivers, once passing technical inspection are bumped up to the next race and only have around 30 minutes to prepare for the next 20 minute final. The action never stops!
