Race report from Neobuggy:
 
 
Qualifying at this year’s European Championships from the heart of Germany – Sand am Main has been all about defending Champion David Ronnefalk, the 18 year old Swede TQ’ing 4 of the 5 possible rounds with this year’s surprise performer Teemu Leino TQ’ing Q1 whilst Robert Batlle, winner of the 2011 Euros held here will lead out the B semi.
Ronnefalk’s qualifying campaign got off to a slightly damp start as a light rainshower meant a slower track, each subsequent heat benefitting from a drying track with Teemu Leino in heat 5 snatching Q1 TQ by a couple of 10ths.
The Finn definitely the unusual name in the top 5, relegating XRAY’s Reno Savoya to 6th overall. In P4 Elliott Boots, coming good towards the final three rounds, fellow Kyosho racer Carsten Keller will be delighted with his 8th place, taking up the challenge as ‘top German’, after Jorn Neumann pulled it together in the end despite a late arrival.
In unlucky 13th Jerome Aigoin, three years ago he TQ’d to much crowd satisfaction, this time around he hasn’t quite hit front runner pace yet, 1 place behind him Yannick Aigoin running a prototype Associated car – the same as he used at the 2012 Worlds – Martin Wollanka makes into 15th and Fabrizio Teghesi makes sure there is some Italian flavour in the semis!
