Shepherd Success At Danish Nationals
Report By Martin Lissau
Last weekend the first round of the Danish Nationals took place at the Odense RC MiniRace track. I was also there to compete the first time with the Velox V10. Unfortunately the weather was not so nice which limited the possibilities to practice.
Nevertheless I had a good feeling and was confident for the first round of qualifying. With a new track record I clocked the fastest time. Right after the first round was done rain arrived again and the rest of the qualifying was cancelled.
The finals were scheduled for Sunday and finally the track was dry. I did some setup changes and was really satisfied with the car after the final practice. Right from the start of the final I pulled away and never looked back. My Velox V10 powered by IDM engines ran flawlessly and after 30 minutes I crossed the finishing line in first position.
1:10 Final Top 3:
- 1: Martin Lissau (Shepherd/IDM/GRP)
- 2: Claus Rygeskov
- 3: Martin Hansen
Also in the 1:8 scale class Team Shepherd took the win. Henrik Christensen had the lead from the start to the end, his fellow Shepherd racer Hans Andersen finished 2nd.

Thanks to Odensen Mini RC club who ran this event so perfectly. Thanks also to Shepherd, IDM and GRP for the support for this race.
