Report by Michael Johnsen
Last weekend we raced round 6 and last race of the Danish outdoor championship. One round was cancelled because of summer holiday and a Round of ETS same weekend.
So it will be 4 races out of 5 counting for the championship.

The final was to be raced at my local track in Glostrup, just outside Copenhagen, a track that we hope will be there at least 2 years on. Going in to the final leading the championship by 9 points, everything was looking great. Main competition was coming from 2 top ETS drivers, +40 Winner Casper Morgen and winner of round 1 of ETS in FWD class Steven Olsen.

Practice Saturday saw all 3 drivers within 1 sec over 5 minutes.

On Sunday somehow Casper just missed a tenth or 2 so top spot was between Steven and me. I took qual 1, Steven qual 2 so it was qual 3 to decide the all-important top spot for the finals. Steven had a small mistake, and so close racing, it was just enough for me to take qual 3.

Finals , well , I made a small mistake in A1 and Steven got by, and took that win , A2 was so close and I just got to defensive and Steven sat me up for a clean pass to take A2 and the race win. A3 I could take a tone to tone win, but most important, DANISH CHAMPION.
After many years of RC racing and getting older, I still can win a championship.
Had just seen Stefan Schultz win a ETS round a few weeks before with the all new XRAY(I would think it will be called) , I'm looking forward to the indoor season and to race the new car , as soon as it will be ready.
