If there would a competition in who is the slowest to post their Large Scale Offroad race report from the EFRA championship in RCA Stařeč I will probably take that price!
Having being on vacation, being sick and posting all the awesome photos (I still have some more) has taken time from writing it all up.
I have now taken my time to summarize the week that had some ups and downs. It's no secret I was very disappointed in now making it to the semi finals. But there is so much other positive stuff to take away from it. My P8 from the first qualifier or P16 after the quails I'm definitely happy with. It's puts me where I want to be.
But as usual it's always all the other stuff that in the end matters the most, all the meetings, talks, people you only meet at these races (even from all around the world, hello Callan Gunn), fun conversations, having a good beer, enjoying a great track, talking RC, spying on prototypes, watching good racing and the whole experience.
Compared to my other Euros where I have constantly had to wrench on my car this time my VRmodelsport Phoenix car worked awesome without any problems, so did my RN Tuning Modelsport RC Racing 305 Pro engine even in the hot temperature. That together with the Powergrip clutch kept the power to the ground. Romain Valter and Rinus Visser offered excellent support during the whole event, this is really what you want and need at a big event like this.
So that was a new experience to focus more on the racing than the wrenching! 🙂
