David Ronnefalk fights the mud to dominate 1/10 Offroad Swedish Nats

 

 

This weekend it was time for the Swedish Nationals in 1/10 2WD and 4WD. The track for the race was MHF Skarpnäcks 1/8 track in Stockholm.
 
As the race was on similar surface as it will be at the Euros next week, it was also a good opportunity to make some practice with the same regulated tires that will be used then. 
 
The weather forecast for Saturday (2wd day) was not so good, and it´s rained when practice and the first qualification rounds was driven. 
 
At the first round Oskar Levin managed to take the first round before David Ronnefalk and Mikael Hedin but after that it´s changed to a David Show and he took qualification round 2 – 4 and secured TQ and the start in pole.
 

In final 1 and 2 he continued to drive his Team Orion powered Kyosho safe and stable and secured his first Swedish National title (and first 2WD victory) in the class before Oskar Levin and home driver Niclas Månsson.

On Sunday it was time for 4WD and we predicted an hard fight as the 5-6 top drivers at the race was driving in same speed on the late Saturday 4wd practice. David made some adjustment on his car after the practice, and when the qualifications started he was flying over the track with times no one could beat.

In the two last rounds Mikael Johansson (Kyosho / Team Orion) closed up to David, but he have no problem to win all rounds and take the TQ.
 
Before the Finals David made some changes on the car, and he won final A1 with a good run before Mikael. In the second final the car was a bit unstable and he struggled and made to many mistakes and Mikael took the win.

In the last final the win was between David and Mikael. David took the lead with Mikael tight behind chasing, then David made a mistake and Mikael passed him for a couple of laps, then Mikael made his mistake and David passed him and could pass the finish line as Swedish Nationals winner also in the 4WD class.
 
One interesting conclusion was that the gap in times back to the rest of the drives was surprisingly high, but it shows that the Kyosho / Team Orionpackage really fits the guys.
