Winter Jumps Series Rd4 – Report Posted: 11 Feb 2019 07:27 AM PST The fourth round of the Finnish Winter Jumps Series was held at the Äänekoski indoor track located near Jyväskylä. The permanent indoor track features a full-size off-road track and an even bigger on-road track with the slippery surface making for a narrow driving line. Saturday was 2WD day and straight from the start it was evident that the fight for the win was on between three drivers: Joona Haatanen, Pekko Iivonen and local rising star Jamiel Gabrielsson. With Joona having problems in the first qualifying it was Jamiel who started with a TQ with Pekko and Lauri Ruotsalainen in 2nd and 3rd respectively. From the second round Joona took charge of the qualifying, winning the next three rounds to claim the overall TQ in front of Jamiel in 2nd, Pekko in 3rd, Konsta Saarinen in 4th, Lauri in 5th and Mikko Luopajärvi in 6th. In the finals Joona once again showed his incredible speed and with everyone making mistakes on the difficult track, Joona used his experience and took the win in the first two finals. Going into the last leg the fight for the overall runner-up spot was still super-tight with Jamiel, Pekko, Lauri and Mikko all in the mix. However Jamiel managed to lay down a near-perfect race to win the main in front of Pekko and Joona. 2WD final results: Sunday was wheeler day and once again Joona, Pekko, Jamiel and Konsta were showing great speed. However Joona was the quickest with Pekko a close 2nd. Konsta started 3rd and Jamiel in 4th in front of Markku Honkanen in 5th and Lauri in 6th. In the finals Joona took the win in two finals, leaving behind Pekko and Konsta. Pekko won the third final after a tight battle with Konsta, securing the 2nd spot on the podium and in front of Konsta in 3rd. 4WD final results: Joona Haatanen managed to secure the overall win of the popular winter series in both 2WD and 4WD before the fifth round being held at the Vaasa permanent indoor track hosted by the same crew that run the IFMAR 2011 worlds.

Inaugural Pan Car Grand Prix – Report Posted: 11 Feb 2019 06:54 AM PST The inaugural Pan Car Grand Prix was held at the Aalborg RC Centre in Denmark over the weekend. The race was held on what is considered one of the largest tracks in the country and in the three classes of 1/12 mModified 6.5, 1/12 Stock 13.5 and Formula 21.5. In the Formula class there was excitement in all three heats between Richardt Hansen and Nicolaj Hansen, with the match between the two being close all the time. Both A1 and A2 saw the two being separated by only a couple of metres and the class was only decided in the last final when Nicolaj led but in the closing stages Nicolaj made a mistake Richardt would capitalise from to win the race from Nicolaj Hansen 2nd and Jacob Bjerregaard 3rd. The 1/12th Modified class held plenty of drama. Jon Pedersen started from pole, with Jan Larsen 2nd and Bo Nielsen 3rd as Søren Jørgensen started further down the field. Unfortunately for Jan Larsen he got into a lot of problems and had to see himself beaten. In the first final, Jon Pedersen had problems holding his nerves and that made him unable to keep the lead, but in the second and third he brought home wins with Bo Nielsen right behind him. Søren Jørgensen had some very steady results to catch a 2nd place on the podium with Bo Nielsen ending the day on the 3 spot. In the 1/12 Stock class there was not much to talk about as Peter Huus brought home the win in all three finals as Lars Kristensen and Niels Laursen came in 2nd and 3rd respectively.
