Last weekend the MBC Bamberg hosted the first round of the South German Championship in the north of Bavaria with Team Shepherd winning two of the three racing classes.
In the 1:8 scale class two, young talent Maximilian Günther had a brilliant debut with his new Velox V8. After qualifying he was ranked third with the combined ranking of class one and class two, nearly one lap in front of the next best placed driver of class two. In the combined final Max demonstrated his driving skills and crossed the finishing line in third position behind the class one pairing of Nico Bähr (Serpent/Sonic) and Dominik Mayer (Xray/Orcan). With this result Max scored the maximum points for the ranking of the South German Championship at his first race with Shepherd.
In the 1:10 scale touring car class, Patrick Nähr had a hard time during qualifying but when the finals began he and his Velox/Sonic package were back in shape bumping up from the semi to the final without a problem. When his biggest rivals Thomas Günsel and Dominic Greiner had to retired at the beginning of the final, Patrick took over the control of the race cruising to victory nine laps in front of Martin Schöffel and Mirco Thalheimer.”
