Race report:

The Nordic Championship was held last weekend at the really nice track in Gothenburg, Sweden. The starting list was very competitive in both 1/8 and 1/10 with all the fastest drivers from Sweden, Denmark and Norway attending.

Qualifying in 1/8 was a close battle between Mikael Fransson and Martin Christensen. The TQ spot for the final eventually went to Mikael, just in front of Martin. In third spot it was the surprise of the weekend, Stefan Andersson just beating Adrian Berntsen in fourth place.

In the final Fransson took advantage of his starting position and was able to pull away slightly. Christensen had a bad start and had to fight his way through the field. After 15min it started to rain and everyone had to stop for rain tyres. The MRX4-X of Fransson was perfect on the dry conditions and it proved to be equally good on the rain tyres. He managed to pull away even more and finally winning with 3 laps in front of Serpent driver Bengt Andersson and in third place it was local Kyosho driver Marcus Lindner.
