This time the
first EFRA GP for 2006 was organized by the BMVRC a club with a lot of
enthousiasts to support the venue of the 32 racers who came from all over
Europe. This race was also a good opportunity for us to make some tests with
some new engines and solutions worked on during the winter
period. |

| QUALIFICATION : |
The qualifications started
with the track still humid but during the day the track dried and the laptimes
dropped more and more, the overal results changed every heat untill the last
qualifier. The RB Concept engines have again proven to be reliable and
economical with their fuel-consumption and overall power. This was also an
occasion for us to test the new RB Speedline engines wich gave entire satisfaction
to the drivers who were using this engine. |
Stefan HANAUER from Germany managed an excellent 3rd time in
qualification with his new RB Speedline XENON R! |

| THE RACE : |
|
In one of the Semi
Finals we found our 2 French RB Concept team-drivers together. Unfortunately
for both of them they did not manage to bump-up to the final due to some
technical problems arrised during the race.
So for the coming final we find
ourselves with Stefan HANAUER from Germany defending our colors, driving a
Kyosho powered by our new RB Speedline Xenon R engine. The start of the
final was quite hectic and Stefan found himself in the middle of the field
after a not so good start, the strategy was however to stay out of trouble
first. At the 15 minute mark Stefan found himself in 3rd position taking
advantage to Michal Salven at that moment in 2nd position. Just before the 20
minute mark Stefan overtook Michael and so found himself in 2nd position just
before his planned tire change. The tire-change went without any problems and
when the others also had changed their tires, Stefan found himself at the first
position which he never left and so won this EFRA GP with flair.

controlled this race from start to finish. |
