As the title suggest here is a Sabrina Lechner report from Europe – “Dear racers, here is a brief summary of a the last few weeks filled with intense racing action all over Europe and even Asia: First stop: 1/8th scale European B-Championships in Cassino, Italy. We arrived to a beautiful racing facility and the people there made us feel very welcome and were always willing to help out when it was needed. After timed practice I was in 17th place and things were looking very positive, but once qualifying started I was plagued by engine trouble and couldn’t get one good qualifying run together. This put me into the 1/64th final on Saturday, which I was able to win comfortably and bump up to the 1/32nd. In the 32nd final it was also relatively smooth sailing and I won with a lap on second place.. In the 16th final I fought my way to the front and took the lead after about 5 minutes.. I pulled about half a lap on second place when disaster struck and my front belt started to slip and loose it’s teeth. I suppose that 3 finals in a row was a bit much for the car.. Needless to say that I was not able to go at the same pace anymore and I fell back to 5th place which meant the end of the Euros for me. Nevertheless, it was a great week of racing and new experiences which we all enjoyed very much.” Read More… [Source - serpent.com]
