Scootentole season finale in Magny Cours, September 21-22.09.2012, XNUMX

,

On September 21st and 22nd there was the end of the season in Magny Cours as part of the Scootentole races.

The series, which now consists of 3 races, is also enjoying increasing popularity with ESC drivers.

After the last runs of the ESC in Hungary literally fell into the water, we were actually hoping for a nice, warm and above all dry racing weekend.

The Friday training, however, had to take place completely in light rain.
So it was called on Sava monsoon or to change K58RSC rain tires.

When the sky locks were really opened again on Friday evening, we already let all hopes go for a dry racing Saturday. Even the cautiously optimistic online weather forecast and the slightly confident “RAIN-O-METER” could not lighten our mood in the face of this deluge.

However, Saturday surprised us with the cloud cover and when the track dried out, we were able to do our first free practice and qualification.

With the Sava's the wet, slippery route could still be controlled well. Nevertheless, the top times were still 1:10 and as soon as the water was no longer on the track, Maik Persch (ESC175) could drive a maximum of 1:08 into the wet asphalt.

It stayed dry for the entire day of the race, so the feared tire slaughter did not occur in which one had to switch from dry to rain tires and back again 5 minutes later.

So the tire choice for Saturday was the Sava Super Sofat for the front and the Soft Drinks Version for the rear.

Maik Persch, this year's champion of the ESC, was able to take the overall victory in class C3 on these rubbers and despite a very considerable straight drive with a subsequent take-off through a hanging throttle slide.

The award ceremony took place in the usual exuberant atmosphere. A nice end to the day with a buffet and subsequent raffle.

... and there was enough celebration in the paddock afterwards, the “K8” counter class of the ESC, is in any case and fortunately, cross-racing series.
