Bill Lykaris wins Greek 1/10 GP opener Posted: 03 Apr 2018 12:36 AM PDT Round 1 of the Greek 1/10th Nitro On-road Championship was held at the Fanatix Racing Track in Athens last weekend. Bill Lykaris soon made his intensions clear and after scoring promising laps in practice he also brought home the TQ and the fastest lap. Right from the start of the 30-minutes main final Bill opened a gap to 2nd placed Nikos Karabelas and even a change in weather around mid-race, which caused Bill’s engine to run richer and making an extra pit stop necessary, did not hold him from bringing home the win with a 1-lap margin.
