2017 SEASON 1 1:10 SC TRUCKS 13.5T ROUND 2 Mikes Hobby Shop 3
Second round of SC 13.5 serie was driven here at Mikes Hobby Shop 3 track. At semifinal Austrian talent Martin Wollanka was 3 seconds faster than Italian Erik Bottosso. Third and fourth place went to Swedish Robert Hillman and Britains Reece Hodges.
Main final was started without TQ driver Wollanka, so Bottosso, Hillman and Hodges were favourites to take this one. But when final started, in early stage we could noticed that Bottosso was on his own. His pace was good enough to let others behind and with his consistency, he crossed the line 5 seconds before Hillman. Hillman instead, had to do full job to keep Hodges behind.
In early stage Hodges was stronger, but Hillman was stronger in last ten laps and this secured his second place in here. Hodges have to surrender with 0.8 second margin to Hillman.
Fourth place battle was also very intence, Carson Yeung and Tommi Vacklin drove very tight final and finally Yeung was one second faster than Vacklin.
Bottosso was strongest in here
In SPORT level Gaetan Anger was fastest. He was 3 second faster than second one, Vesa Inkeri from Finland. Third place went to another Finn, Niki Josefsson. When Anger in the lead was on his own pace, Inkeri and Josefsson had very tight battle of second place. They swapped the places and raced very intence 24 laps in half second distance, but Josefsson made his mistake at lap 25 and this finalized this battle to Inkeri.
In CLUB level Spaniard Dani Tortuga gave a knock-out to others. He was on his own lap when race ended and with his pace, we could see that he is totally PRO, at least SPORT level driver. With his result he would end up to seventh place in PRO level. Great driving Dani!!
Second and third place went to Czech Erik Margony and Aarne Kutvonen from Finland.
Hillman and Hodges had great fight
