Michael Salven gave himself a perfect birth-day (50) present by winning the 2011 German 1/10 scale Nations in Kirchhain. The same track where he won his 1st ever 1/8 scale German title many years ago.
Salven with Serpen 733/XceedZX qualified in 3rd, with Pietsch TQ and Wichnesvski in 2nd with almost nothing between this top-3. Very close.

Round 6 of the British 200mm Nationals were held on the 27th / 28th August at the excellent Stonehaven circuit up in Scotland.
Saturdays practice was held under dry conditions despite the forecast being for rain. Traction was ok to start off with and it wasn’t long before all cars were up to racing pace. Due to the nature of the Stonehaven track, tyre wear is really high so many drivers worked on trying to reduce this for Sunday’s finals.
Due to overnight rain qualifying was run under damp and greasy conditions. I managed to win all 4 rounds of qualifying to take FTD with my Serpent 733.

Fischer Race report
Practise
Thursday was hard day for most drivers, as track had tons of grip and many traction rolled the cars. We went trough the planned test-program and end of day set-up was good, but not good enough yet for A-main for my feeling.
For friday after spending some thought on set-up night before we made some serious set-up changes, and went through another set of tests. Now its felt really much better right away, also over full 5 minutes, should be good enough for A-main.
Friday, 2 heats:
Heat 1: I ran easy and smooth just to...

A new Racetrack in the Philippines , RC FREAK OFROAD RACEWAY, located in Nueva Ecija, 2 hours away from manila. The inaugural race held last weekend Aug 13,2011 and it was a great success with about 40 racers on Nitro buggy and Nitro Truggy.

Started the qualifying with a perfect sunny day and had a little shower for 30 mins during the start of the B Main and that created a lot of tractions for the A main group. Familiar faces like Jordan Go with his Serpent TQd the qualifying rounds for buggy and Clemen pancho...

The saturday was the finals day.
Serpent had 7 drivers in the 2 quarter finals; with Green, Mazzeo, Gruber, Stammler, Salven, Branson, Jacobs.
Mainly fuel consumption and engine troubles made only Green go into the semi by winning his quarter with many laps as well, and Jacobs running a very good quarter too and Sammler as 3rd. Both Mazzeo and Salven were very fast in the quarter, but engine / consumption issues prevented bump ups.
Green was most of the time in 3rd place following Pietsch and Wichnevski closely, in last 10 minutes a small stone caught his 1st gear and broke it. Over....

Marc Fischer had a crash with Krapp in Final 1 and Final 2, so he ended last in both.
In the 3rd run Fischer had a superb pace. A stop and go penalty slowed him down a bit, but after this break, his race-pace was even better, setting the fastest lap-time of the 3rd run of all, and finishing a superb 4th place in the end.
The 3 results together meant a 8th place overall.
Looking forward to the DM in september and the ETS races in 2011.
