She did very well and you can see what a talent she is at her age definitely one to watch, and maybe a future world champ?

Yes great for Her, following her with interest.
WC in future why not? time we had a girl winner ;-)

Yer she's coming through both the 8th and 10th ranks, Oh its a bugger when your blown off the track by someone standing on a box to see over the rostrum rail, just makes you feel so past it:lol::cry:

Isn't she Norwegian?

If she is she's driving for the wrong country

think that clears that up then:lol:

She is indeed Norwegian - but she seems to be focused much more on Swedish competitions. Possibly just something to do with where the family is based?

if you all know anything about laws you would know that in norway she is too young to drive in any motorsport be that rc racing or full size hence why she races for sweden

Oh well thats us put right, have to admit I'm possibly are not as up to speed on European motor sport law. And to be honest to young to race RC, thats daft, even the uk isn't that black or white

I can understand the full size part obviously but look at how good she is and what there missing out on in terms of youth development.

I think it's because you need to be over 18 to compete in "Motorsport" in Norway. RC cars come under Motorsport national organisation there I understand.
On a European/world competition, she represents the neighbouring country which have no such age limits.

Ah it was answered...

I can understand the reazon wy serpent did this .
They did not have the time nor the resorses to get
A New car or made for that track like other brands
Did in that time .
I stil find that They need to race cars that are availibel to
The publik and not just the team.

The fact is the track they choose is not what the cars have really been designed for but do show a reflection on tracks used in UK especially and more into Europe.
I like indoor racing but not with limitless grip, I would like to have seen some slippery hairpins. The rumble strips was there to break up the pace of the circuit 17 seconds was too fast even with them, and yes it meant the cars had to have some rideheight, also it made sure the shaft cars would be more handicaped in that section with the non shaft cars as they really don't do bumps as well.
Any Team with Gerd in is going to be running some non production models.
Associated keeping under wraps is very suspicious to me, if it was new prototype stuff why keep a secret? maybe they borrowed some bits from another manufacturer?. Associated went with a very strong team as always and for a young gun to win will shake up the old school, will Rifkin buy Cav a Beer after the coming together, you could see his intention to win after not stopping for the Multi WC top Associated driver. He was on fire in finals impressive stuff.
Tebo running his own hybrid was a little controversial, However Boots was running the new prototype RB6 which we expect to see in production soon. 11th place was much more than expected and fast enough for 5th in all A final runs. The Kyosho cars was kept secret prior but was fully on show during event.
Yokomo lacked some depth to their team at the top, Lee did well to get there after a poor start but just was not on pace of the rest.

I think its clear that 2wd has become such a variable class depending on surface and track features that this worlds has highlighted that many cars are still not developed to point where they can compete in all arenas! I doubt anyone in top 20 had a car off the shelf to buy now!

Looking forward to 4wd, i expect more drivers to show, so far some very strong drivers been missing under radar as they likely had 2wd not up to it, Like Ronnafelk and few others way down the field. Doubt it will be 2 horse race in qualifying like 2wd was!

Try the European 4wd champions car, kf2 mid

Clearly not :D

Coehlo is flying, though the YZ4 looks mighty fast over 5mins with Lee Martin at the helm!

Lee

Why does it look like the Serpent boys are running Durangos again in 4WD!
