Danish Championships Rd1 - Glostrup

Yesterday we had the first race of the Danish Championships outdoor on a perfect 1:10 track near Copenhagen.

First race with the EX and first time out ever was Fridays practice. The car was perfect! Easy to drive and very fast.

TQ and win in all 3 finals with a nice margin. I will post my setup here tomorrow.

The track is asphalt, 165m long with app. 50m main straight. Motor is 17,5t with timing, and heats are 7 min long. Solaris Hard was the control tyre and it's allowed to use 6 tyres for the whole race (3 qual and 3 finals)

"First round of the Danish Championships outdoor was held on Sunday, 20 May 2012, in Glostrup outside Copenhagen. The track was also used to host the European Championship back in 2005, and it's perfect for Electric Touring Car racing. The track is 165m long, with a main straight app 50m. Control tires for the season is Solaris Hard, and the drivers are allowed to use 6 sets of tires for the race. The sun had arrived at Denmark, giving a perfect condition for a super race.

In the qualification it was Soeren Boy Holst who was fastest of all, with the brand new T.O.P. Photon EX car. Friday's practice session was the first time out for this car, and it was flying around the track. TQ with 3 seconds to Troels Troelsen, who was followed by Nicolai Lindegaard.

In the finals Soeren pulled away from start while Troels and Nicolai had some very close fights. In the first final Nicolai made an early move on Troels, who let him by to avoid accidents and hoped to catch up and pass him during the 7 minutes, but he didn’t succeed. In the 2nd final Nicolai made a mistake that dropped him down the field, so Troels could relax a bit and took the 2nd place ahead of Nicolai Nielsen. The 3rd final was again a close battle for 2ndplace, but Troels made a mistake and left the 2nd place for Nicolai.

A great debut for the new car. Thanks to T.O.P., Team Powers and GM-Racing.
