We attended the European Championship warm up race / EFRA Grand Prix in Austria where we were really excited to see how our race package would be up against the best in Europe, in preparation for the main event in August. We arrived at a really fantastic facility and a great looking track at a very picturesque town of Fehring, a couple of hours drive outside of Vienna. The format for the race was practice on the Friday, qualifying on the Saturday with finals on the Sunday.
The weather, unfortunately, was not particularly good, very changeable with sunshine and showers, and rain predicted on Sunday, but this was changing on a daily basis, so really it was like home from home for us! - Publicado: Mayo 21, 2012

Lee mas »Alex Thurston wins the Nitro TC national at Stonehaven with KYOSHO R4
Having raced at Stonehaven previous, We knew the key to winning was about having the right strategy for the final.
The track is very hard on tyres, and managing the wear rate to cope without a tyre stop was going to be difficult. The high wear rate caused by the full speed banked corner is something we learnt to manage.
Alex qualified 7th for the main after lots of work getting setup and using the qualifiers as a learning base for tire wear.
Off the start, Alex fought to get past 3 or 4 drivers but got tagged from a driver he had overtaken, as always Alex got his head into gear and drove hard for the first 5 mins and got himself into the lead. Having got there he drove smartly looking after his tyres, slowing slighly to conserve the left rear.
Alex led the race for around 20 mins of the total 30 mins.
With around 7 or 8 mins to go it started to rain and made the track very slippy. We knew Alex had a hard setting and it would be hard for him to hold onto car now.
At this point Alex was 1st ,Joe Kerry was 2nd, and Mark Green was 3rd. Joe drove well to catch up with Alex. For the last 4 mins they both swapped places several times but Joe had to stop for fuel. Alex didn't ,the strategy paid off and Alex drove to the end in a very controlled manner deserving of his First National win.

1. Alex Thurston – KYOSHO V-ONE R4 – 99 laps
