Qualifying:
excrpt from redrc.net
Experiencing traffic in Q3 and having to drive a full circle at the timing loop after his Serpent missed it after being punted off the track by another car, Mark Green was very content with his day as he secured third on the grid. The British driver who was provisional TQ after the second round of heats said he has ‘as good a chance as anybody to win’ but in terms of tyre wear may have a slight advantage over his rivals. Very much a testing event for the new 747, he said the car handles the transition from big to small tyres very well.

ETS Round 5 Apeldoorn
Practise
In practise the 411 felt really good right from the start. At the start of the run sliding a bit, but became really good later in the run. I changed rear blocks from 3.0 to 2.5 , and now the 411 also felt really good at the start of a run.

Less than two months ago I reported from Lost Creek ,PA about the ROAR Nationals warmup race held at LCRC. This time, same place, same facility, new layout and another new condition, they held their Annual race called “The Big One”.
The turnout was a little lighter than I would have expected, but with the Memorial day weekend going on the same time, im sure that had something to do with it. The most noteworthy driver in attendance was Ryan Maifield along with his tire guru Jason Ruona. There were some other drivers though that bring heavy loads of competition like, Jason Schreffler,Chad Phillips,Gunner...

Race report, by Yuya,
Our 966TE performed very well from day of free practice. We felt much advantage than other drivers. Even young Takumi's 966TE wasn't so bad though he didn't have enough exprience for 1/8 racing yet.
Day 1 qualifing,
I kept top time holder from 1st round to 5 round.
Tadahiko made 2nd time in the end, but his 966 came in to pit for refueling. So he was very fast!
Takumi had problem of fuel consumption, and couldn't manage it.
Day 2 final qualifing,
My 966 stopped due to less fuel, and couldn't improve. Tadahiko improved my time, and got TQ.
Takumi still had fuel...
