Es war das zweite Mal in dieser Saison, dass ich den Sender in der Hand hielt. Mehr oder eher gesagt weniger erfolgreich war mein Resultat. Aber das Wetter war toll, die Stimmung im Fahrerlager war wie das Wetter und das Essen in der Festwirtschaft in Langenthal wie immer ausgezeichnet. Somit ein tolles Wochenende für alle.
Herzlichen Dank an Beat und Käthi Stadler für die tolle Rennserie. Wir freuen uns alle auf nächstes Jahr.
Vielen Dank an den MRCL Langenthal für die perfekte Strecke und Festwirschaft.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch an alle Piloten ohne die eine solche Veranstaltung nicht möglich wäre.
Ich freue mich auf die nächste Saison. Mehr Training mehr Rennen und dann hoffentlich mal wieder im Finale.
Man muss ja Träume haben. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich allen einen schönen Winter.

4. SM Lauf OFF ROAD in Dielsdorf

4. SM Lauf OFF ROAD in Dielsdorf

Der Samstag viel so richtig ins Wasser. Am Morgen 2 Trainings und dann Regen, Regen, Regen bis am Abend der Spaghetti Plausch startete. Der EOCD hat erneut wohl eine der besten Festwirtschaften betrieben. Vielen Dank dem Verein dafür. Auch sonst war der Anlass makellos organisiert und die Piste befand sich trotz des Regens in hervorragendem Zustand. Zeitmessung und Rennleitung arbeiteten ebenfalls perfekt.

Am Sonntag kam zur guten Organisation auch noch das schöne Wetter und einem perfekten Renntag stand nichts mehr im Wege. Der Modus wurde auf 3 Vorläufe und 3 Finale gekürzt. Die Dirt – Piste trocknete zusehends mehr und mehr ab. Somit wurde auch der Grip immer weniger. Ein gefühlvoller Fahrstil war also immer mehr gefragt…….

Nico Schmid gewinnt in der Kategorie 4WD nachdem er die Finale vom 2. Startplatz in Angriff genommen hatte. Kay Frehner startete die A-Finale vom 6. Startplatz und erkämpfte sich den tollen 2. Rang. Florian Schmid ebenfalls auf dem Podest mit Rang 3, da ihn Kay im letzten A-Finale noch überholte.

Aaron Münster entscheidet die Kategorie 2WD für sich. Florian konnte seinen 2. Startplatz im Finale halten und Nico ebenfalls seinen 3. Startplatz. Somit auch in der Kategorie 2WD ein XRAY Podium.

Super Leistung für das XRAY Team.
Herzliche Gratulation an die Piloten.
Vielen Dank an Dieter Schmid für Bericht und Pascal Weber für die Fotos.

2nd Swiss National – Lostallo

2nd Swiss National – Lostallo

Friday – Free Practice

It was my first race of the season and no practices since the last race in September 2018. I worked together with the other RX8 drivers like Luca Martinelli, Henzi Thomas and our new entry in the team Nydegger Jürg. They already had a lot of laps of testing this year and they helped me a lot in the first half of the day. Than I start trying different improvement with Traugott Schär and we find a perfect setup, the car was fast and easy to handle. The Xray Team was really fast at the end of the practices.

Saturday – Qualifying

The weather forecast wasn’t the best one, but we could run the 3 controlled practices on a dry track and the first qualifying round too. I won it and I was really happy with the feeling I had on my car. Unfortunately during the lunch break start raining and than we ran 3 round on a wet track. It was really difficult to find the right tires for this conditions. At the end I ended second behind Luca Martinelli and without the SuperPole there was 3 RX8 direct in the Main Final.

Top4:
1. Luca Martinelli – RX8
2. Mattia Pesenti – RX8
3. Ales Haydekr
4. Jürg Nydegger – RX8

Sunday – Finals

Today the rain wasn’t expected. During the practices for the finalists I saw that the car was perfect and I only prepare the tires for the final.
From the 2 semifinal also Thomas Henzi and my colleague Cannas Roberto reached the A-Main. For Cannas it was his first A-Main. So we had 5 RX8.2 on the grid! That was already a super result.
In the Main Final I start really fast, after 4 corners I was already in the lead and I dominated the first 12 minutes, than I had a crash with another driver exiting from the grass and I broke a tire. Traugott and Kevin changed the tires and I started to recover. After some minutes I was already chasing Luca Martinelli for the lead. 18 minutes to finish I decided to change the tires, unfortunately we had some trouble in the pit and I lost too much. I tried to push the car to the limit recovering on Luca, at 5minutes to the finish I was 2 seconds behind him, but my tires were gone. In the last minutes I lost 4-5 second because it was really difficult and I ended in 2nd place behind Luca.

Top3:
1. Luca Martinelli – RX8
2. Mattia Pesenti – RX8
3. Rudi Scherrer

At the price ceremony I showed a “memorial” body to remember Bühler Jakob “Köbi”. He left us in the night of Saturday 18.05.2019. The Swiss RC community loses a very helpful and always happy friend, always ready to help and motivate everyone. We’ll miss him!

The 2nd round of Swiss championship was held at the famous track in Lostallo.

by Categories: Race Results

The 2nd round of Swiss championship was held at the famous track in Lostallo.

During the free practice, I struggled a little bit to find the best setup on this fast and bumpy track.

In the first qualification I finished on position 4. During the lunch break, it began to rain. The three previous qualification have been raced in wet conditions. My rain car worked, as always, very well and I was able to finish the qualification on P2. Because the track was still wet, the Super Pole was cancelled and the top 4 drivers went directly in the 45 minutes long A-Main Final.

Standing after qualification:

  1. Marco Rizzo
  2. Patrick Fankhauser – Xray NT1
  3. Traugott Schär – Xray NT1
  4. Marco Tanner

On Sunday the weather forecast looked good. After a few changes on my setup, I was really happy with my car and I was able to fight with Marco and Traugott for the win. After two small mistakes from Marco we had after 8 min two NT1 ahead. A few laps later, Marco had to retire from the race after an engine issue. Traugott was leading and we pulled away from the rest of the field. After 18 minutes I was able to take the lead. At 20 minute mark it began to rain over 5 minutes. The track was drying up very fast and we decided to make a full tire change after 25 minutes. The tire-wear was much higher than the last year.

Traugott was faster than me. But with a flawless driving and a perfect strategy I could win the final in front of my two team mates Traugott Schär und Stefan Wüthrich – full Xray Poduim! With my dad sitting on P5 we had 4 NT1 in top 5.

  1. Patrick Fankhauser – Xray NT1
  2. Traugott Schär – Xray NT1
  3. Stefan Wüthrich – Xray NT1
  4. Maurice Lüscher
  5. Roland Fankhauser – Xray NT1

Congratulations to Traugott for P2 and to defeat his lead in the championship and also to Stefan for his first podium in 1/10 scale – good job!

At least I have to thank my pitcrew Sue and Luca for the perfect pit work and the fast tire-change. Huge thanks to T+M Models for the fantastic support during the whole weekend!

This was the first race after the sad news, that our team mate Jakob Bühler left us. “Köbi” you will stay forever in our team, we miss you! I’m dedicating this win to you!
