Round One of the Mauritius National Championship 2016 was held at the Winnerâ™s Speedway track on a sunny Sunday even though it rained on the previous night. The event was run in 3 different classes, 1/10 GP, 1/10 EP and 1/8GT. In the 1/10 GP class, Clarel Lacour took the top qualifier followed by Kenny Allas. During the final, Clarel showed confidence with his XRAY NT1 and managed to handle the pressure from both Giovanni Arekion and Keny Allas. Clarel opted for a less aggressive and softer setup this time around due to the low traction on that day and said his NT1 was very drivable with his new setup. During the last 5 minutes of the 30 minutes Final, Clarel managed to open a gap of two laps.
In the 1/10 EP, it was a very tricky race and took the racers time to find a good setup due to the low traction. Flavio Jacquin using an XRAY T4 took the top qualifier after a strong battle with Clarel Lacour and Olivier Lebon. Flavio went to win the finals followed by Olivier Lebon and Hyder Ghani.
