2017 SEASON 2 1:10 ELECTRIC TC MODIFIED ROUND 5 CRF LAUSANNE
PRO level
Fifth round of 1:10 electric modified serie was held at CRF Lausanne track. Polish talent Jakub Rozycki had made a comeback to VRC PRO and was immediatly very convincing in qualifying round. Even there was other great talents of rc racing, nobody couldnt answer to Jakub`s pace.
He won the qualifying with 2.3 seconds margin to French Xavier Deparde. Behind Deparde, was another French Kevin Rasguin, almost 2 seconds from Deparde`s pace. American talent Dana Bailes was sitting in fourth place, 5 seconds away from fastest pace. Indonesian Hijrah Saputra was fifth fastest, but he was almost 10 seconds slower than Rozycki. Rozycki, Deparde, Rasguin and Bailes were only ones, who gathered totally 29 laps during the five minute qualifying.
With his own qualifying pace, and with steady driving, Rozycki was favourite for this one.
As the main started, Rozycki, Deparde and Rasguin setted the pace. They pull the gap to other group and margins were really tiny. But Rozycki had something more than his fellow rivals, he was pulling the gap as he got in perfect rhytm and was leading this group. Deparde and Rasguin were fighting of the second place, and this was tight. All the way to ninth lap when Rasguin made his move. He overcutted the curb at middle section and his flyed to mainstraight. By this mistake he dropped to fifth place.
SO, it was Rozycki leading, Deparde in second place and by Rasguin`s mistake, Bailes was now in third spot. After three minutes of driving, Rozycki in the lead, losted his rhytm a little and this gave some chances to Deparde. Actually, Deparde also took his chance and got the lead, but Rozycki had so great pace and he took the lead back after one lap. Deparde try to push and pressure Rozycki in the lead, but he got troubles in one lap and overcutted mainstraight corner. By this mistake our leader Rozycki got some space to breath.
Last minute Rozycki drove stable fast laps and got well deserved win. Deparde came to second, 4 seconds behind winner. Of the third place we got good battle. As Rasguin had made his mistake at lap 9, Bailes was favourite to take the last podium place. But also Bailes had some moves at middle section, he did similar mistake like Rasguin and this allowed Rasguin to take the third position.
Last few laps, these two made great race, margins were really close but Rasguin manage to hold his nerves and take the last podium place. Bailes had to settle to fourth place, with frustrating 0.3 seconds behind Rasguin.
Deparde, Rozycki and Rasquin, top three of PRO
SPORT level
SPORT level race was totally one driver show. Vasiliy Simonov had overwhelming pace and with this he would have been fifth at PRO level. Great drive Vasiliy!
Manuel Weber, Isla Pesca and Santo Grasso solve second and third place. There was no huge differences in paces but finally Weber was strongest from this trio and was one second behind ahead of Pesca when race ended. Grasso had to settle to fourth, 1.5 seconds behind Pesca.
Simonov`s pace was enormouss, total PRO level style
CLUB level
If SPORT level was dominated with one driver, so was also CLUB level. German driver Philipp Becker had crushing pace and he won this race with almost two laps ahead of Stanislav Pavlicek. Pavlicek had stable place in second, as third place driver Michael Zappa was one lap behind him when race ended.
Becker was overwhelming at CLUB level

Thank you for the report.
It's a really difficult race! Jakub has been really impressive (BRAVO), fast and consistent with a 4.5T, I tried but I was doing too many mistakes ;) ... also congrats to Kevin and the other ones who did it with the 4.5T
