The Messina track on the island of Sicily in the south of Italy, host of the 2005 IFMAR World Championships for 1:8 scale sportscars won by racing legend Lamberto Collari. Located right on the beautiful Messina beach this track must be r/c racers paradise... The track lay-out is relatively simple but this makes it even more difficult to gain time and make a difference.

BACON TAKES 2018 VRC WORLDS 1:8 NITRO SPORSTCARS SPEC

21.02.2019

In another head-to-head with fellow US racer Joshua Berman it was Kevin Bacon who came out on top after 45 minutes of hard racing. Differences were very small on the fast Messina track and pitstop strategy could be a decisive factor. Both racers opted for a tire change half way and things stayed very much as they were all race, Berman leading Bacon with a 2 to 4 seconds gap. Berman was on a slightly more conservative fuel strategy, or was just consuming more fuel, so it could come down to the last fuel stop. And it did. Just 2 laps before the end Berman had to pull in for a quick splash which gave Bacon a change to take the lead. The remaining 2 laps weren't enough for Berman to close the 1 second gap. Good old Graham Raistrick completed the podium 2 laps down on the 2 frontrunners.

Thanks Michael. This was a great final for me. Joshua is arguably the fastest all around on road racer on VRC. He is a VRC legend and just an all around good guy. I was just happy to be part of the race and to be able to keep pace with him.

This was special to me because not only was this my first (and only) World Championship, but it was also my first win in any 1/8 sportscar event on VRC Pro. Don't worry I won't let it go to my head 😉
