EFRA 12th Track Championships Finals Report

Hagberg and Honigl crowned 1/12th European Champions in the Netherlands.
Alexander Hagberg and Hupo Honigl both retained their 12th scale European championships here in Sittard after an intense 3 days of racing.

In the Modified class, which was running to 6.5 Turn Blinky Brushless Rules for the first time, it was a business as usual for Alexander as the Swede took his 4th successive championship with his Xray Chassis. Backing up his wins in Italy and Slovakia (twice) Hagberg was imperious winning all five rounds of qualifying and then today winning the first two legs of the �A� final for a perfect weekend.
Behind Alex teammate Hupo Honigl took second after a 3-leg battle with CRCs Markus Mobers was only decided at the end of the final leg
The full Modified Class result:
The Stock class also saw a repeat winner, this time it was Austria’s Hupo Honigl who claimed his 3rd successive Stock (13.5 Turn Blinky) championship.
The 3 legs of the final saw fantastic racing between Hupo and Germany’s Markus Mobers with Markus taking the win in the last leg with a pass literally on the line!
Hupo came back to claim leg 2, before the final leg saw a titanic battle with both men leading before Hupo just managed to close it out and claim the championship.

A great performance across the weekend brought Britain’s Ollie Payne the reward of the European Junior Champion in both classes!
