Large Scale Touring Car Euros - Martin is Champion!! |
| Bayer takes the throne ending Mighty Markus' 4 year reign.. |
 We witnessed again how cruel racing can be at times, not just to the drivers, but also to the crowd! The favorite, Ales Bayer sadly did not make the final due to engine trouble in the last minutes of his semi final. To make matters worse, the dominant Markus Feldmann was also taken out of the fight early only ten laps into the final also with engine failure. Though the silver lining for the Bayer family is Martin was able to pass Alain Bernard Arnaldi to take charge of the race and be crowned champion!
Stay tuned for the video round up! |

Large Scale Touring Car Euros - Feldmann on pole |
| The current champion sets the pace as the favorite is out! |
 The Semi final B saw an intense battle between pole man Markus Feldmann and Alain Bernard Analdi with Markus finally finishing in the position he started in with Alain spinning into the grass with 30 seconds to go, cars #7 of Nicola Costantino Marrone and #8 of David Bowen got past a troubled mid field with #4 Christoph Flakowski and #6 Guido Ruster both seemingly having problems handling their cars, as did former world champion #5 Martin Lissau, exiting the semi after 28 laps.
The semi Final A was for the most part less eventful, TQ man Ales Bayer held a huge lead on brother Martin Bayer. 3rd place event qualifier Mathieu Briere hit problems and whilst battling with car 9 of Marcus Clark Wohlert looked unlikely to make the final. However in the dying moments of the race, Ales appeared to spin out, stall and despite the desperate attempts of his mechanic his engine failed and the event favorite was out. Current champion Markus Feldmann will take pole in the final and will have Martin Bayer behind him followed by Dario Vesali. Stay Tuned! |

 Markus Feldmann pulled a good round 5 qualifier out of the bag, with 30 laps in 10:09.003 though not quite as good as the young challenger Ales Beyer, who did the same in only 10:04.863. So tomorrow we will see TQ man Ales on pole in the semi A with Markus setting the pace in the semi b. Behind Ales will be 3rd place qualifier Mathieu Briere, (pictured) the Frenchman is pleased with his position but sighted a few small errors that cost him second place.

Large Scale Touring Car Euros |
| Young gun Ales Bayer dominates as Mighty Markus struggles |
 Not only has Ales Bayer broken the circuit record with a lap in 00:19.833, he also continues to look like the man to beat. Putting firmly behind him the heatbreak of last years euros held at his own track in Slavkov - (a final he looked at one stage to win before retiring with tyre problems) |
 Right behind him - at this stage, and also looking incredibly fast is Frenchman Alain Bernard - Analdi (pictured) He will also be looking to improve on his 2nd place finish of last year.
Today, the final day of qualifying was in many drivers minds set to be the day get those all important times. Croatian Dario Vesali put his hopes on the weather today and it may well pay off he is currently 3rd fastest. |
 However current champion for the last 4 years and the man widely regarded as the master, Markus Feldmann played it safe in round 3 promising to come out fighting today but sadly a glowplug problem saw him stall in the warm up of round 4 and not record a single lap. So if there is one man to watch in round 5 it's most certainly him!
We will let you know how things develop!
Stay tuned... |
