Ultimate Racing On Top In Europe Again!
Once again, the UR team drivers have done a fantastic job during the 1:8 off-road European Championship.
Qualifying saw a very strong Yannick Aigoin who TQ’d 3 out of 5 qualifying rounds. Yannick TQ’d Q1 an Q3 on Thursday , so it looked like he went on to be the pole man at the 2010 Euros with his Novarossi powered Losi, ProCircuit tyres and Ultimate Racing accessories. Yannick finally TQ’d on the 2nd and last quali heat on Friday, so once again he TQ’s a major international event.
The other UR team drivers that were on top during the week qualifying directly for semi-finals were Reno Savoya qualifying 4th, Martin Bayer 5th, and Robert Batlle 11th who had his issues with setup and tyres.
But on Saturday things changed surprisingly and Robert Batlle and Reno Savoya improved their performance substantially, Robert finished his semi-final 1st and Reno did the same, so they qualified 1st and 2nd respectively for the A-main. Yannick qualified 3rd, Elliott Boots using many UR products started 5th and Martin Bayer as a new official UR team driver started 7th. So there were 3 UR team drivers on the first 3 positions of the A-main starting grid.
During the final we saw a nice start with Robert, Reno and Yannick fighting for the lead, then Robert opened a small gap until Reno with a less pit stop because of his fuel strategy took the lead. Yannick was 3rd but suffered a flamed out. Then his brother Jerome and Miguel Matias were fighting for the last place on the podium, but Jerome after a fantastic week had similar luck than Yannick allowing Miguel to finish 3rd.
After 45 minutes final the results of the best UR team drivers were:
- 1 – Renaud Savoya – ULTIMATE RACING
- 2 – Robert Batlle – ULTIMATE RACING
- 4 – Martin Bayer – ULTIMATE RACING
- 7 – Yannick Aigoin – ULTIMATE RACING
- 8 – Elliott Boots – ULTIMATE RACING
So Ultimate Racing want to congratulate all UR drivers and especially Reno for his amazing 3rd consecutive European title! Good job!
