We received a brief report from the 3rd round of the Greek 1/5th scale Nationals, a class we rarely cover, which took place last weekend at the FRT race track in Athens. The 30 minute final saw an exciting battle between all 8 cars, with the top spot being fought over between Dimitris Papadakis, FG team mate Kwstas Giannitsas and HARM racer Tasos Papadopoulos. In the end it was Papadakis who would take the win, setting the fastest lap of the race, with Giannitsas in 2nd and Papadopoulos taking 3rd.
