Ronald Völker has had some very successful weeks at VRC. First Winning the 2011 VRC Pro 1:10 ISTC World Title, a 2nd place at the 1:10 Nitro Worlds behind Frank Hattich, a first place in the 1:10 Nitro Masters, and now victorious in the 1:10 ISTC Masters at Eppelheim.
Ronald dominated the Masters as expected, winning all 3 of the Main Final legs. He fell just over a second short of his winning time at the Worlds, and scored superb 23 lappers in all 4 races. Mustafa Alp from Turkey backed up his splendid performance at the Worlds (4th) with a strong second, convincingly taking 2nd spot in all 3 legs. 3RD place went to Tobias Brunke who successfully defended in the last leg with against Knott. 1:8 World Champ Kevin Pignotti did not make it to the final 6 due to internet latency issues. Nicola Maronne from Italy who had qualified had a computer crash just before the start of the final and was not able to participate. RC Sim racing is not completely trouble free afterall...
All races were live video captured and the 5 videos (almost uncut...) are now up on the VRC Pro video channel at YouTube. The big surprise certainly was Mustafa Alp, he is just 19 but his driving is already very mature. Watch him drive the difficult Eppelheim track and you can immediately tell that he has a promissing future. Which manufacturer is going to pick him up?
