March 24, 2008 - After European scale racers
denied my plans to organise the Ultimate ES24 Race with the best
non-European scale racers, just as it was a piece of shit, I had
absolutely no intentions to write one single line on European scale
racing anno 2008. Never before I was humiliated like that by
professional slot-racers. That I eventually decide to make a small
report on the Swedish Masters holds only on one simple fact, nl. that
Matti Fyhr (SF), absent during more than one year, succeeded to beat
all those swollen-headed European scale racers - style Lasse Åberg,
Anders Gustafson, Brian Saunders, etc. Matti Fyhr is one of those
Finnish racers on who you always can count.
Typical for the racers from Finland is that they
always scrupulously respect tech rules and that
you never have the smallest problem with them at
tech
controls. It are dream entrants. For me kit's a real pleasure that Matti
Fyhr is back. I hope that his brother, Einari Fyhr, will one day make
the same sublime come back.
Compared with last year number of
entrants was slightly lower: 48 in GP12 against
52 last year, and 42 in ES24 against 46 last
year. As well at the qualifications as at the
final performances were below this of last year.
Saunders, e.g., TQ-ed this year in 4"529 in
ES24, where TQ of last year was 4"'05 (Tobias
Lestrell). The ES24 winner of this year achieved
491 laps, against 498 last year. In GP12 Landrud
TQ-ed this year in 4"685 against 4"657 for
Saunders last year. GP12 winner achieved 458
laps this year against 466 last year.0
Saunders failed to win his sixth consecutive
Swedish Masters, since he went out at the Consis
after only 185 laps, finishing one but last. Bad
luck also in GP12, where he reached the main
final, but where he lost nearly 50 laps in the
pits. Good performance by Atte Lyyski,
one week ago still finalist at the ESROC G7
EuroNats where he finished sixth. Now he
finished third in ES24. Another Finnish
youngster performing well was Justus
Pohjasniemi, finishing sixth in ES24.
Another Finnish racer causing a stir was the
2001 European wing car champion Marko Pirinen,
finishing eighth in ES24. Only two Swedish
racers reached the main in ES24: Aberg and
Landrud. In GP12 the local racers trusted the
three first places, with Landrud winning ahead
over Lestrell and Nordgren. The
IOC-list
has been updated. Matti Fyhr is now 31st, Jiri
Karlik 35th. [JPVR] |
