Our media friends at RedRC.net made the trip to the Netherlands this weekend for coverage from the IFMAR ISTC Worlds Warm-Up race. The RedRC crew was not disappointed as they were greeted with a great facility, great racing, and have put together this great race report from the event.
The warmup race for next months IFMAR ISTC World Championships took place this weekend in Heemstede, The Netherlands at the world famous MACH track.
It was Xray driver Paul Lemieux, running some prototype parts on his car, that took the top qualifying spot. The US driver was very happy with the new secret bits that have been brought to the race by Juraj Hudy, and proceeded to take the top spot in two of the rounds.
On to the finals and for pole sitter Paul Lemieux it was to be his day. Despite being challenged strongly in the first main by Viktor Wilck he would resist the pressure and take the win, something he would repeat in the following two mains, resisting Naoto in leg 2 and Volker in leg 3, to take a perfect score and give him a boost in confidence going into the July event.
Final Results:
1. Paul Lemieux – XRAY 2. Naoto Matsukura 3. Viktor Wilck 4. Ronald Völker 5. Jilles Groskamp 6. Alexander Hagberg – XRAY 7. Marc Rheinard 8. Hayato Matsuzaki 9. Marc Fischer 10. Yannic Prümper
