Ronald Volker is the 2010 DHI Cup Champion giving Team Yokomo their first ever win at the prestigious Danish race and also their first big win in Europe since Masami Hirosaka won the LRP Masters 10 years ago.  The German, who was champion of the event in 2007, took the win after he claimed his second win of the day in the third Leg. In Pro Stock the third A Main saw the two contenders clash on the second lap dropping them out of contention for the Leg win. This meant the title would be decided on times and so Stocker took the title from Bergfeldt in 2nd and Leg 3 winner Yukijiro Umino in 3rd.

Volker wins 10th Anniversary DHI Cup

David Ronnefalk has won the gas buggy class at the Nitromania X event being held in Belgium this weekend. The young Swede was top qualifier with his Team Orion powered Kyosho, but a poor semi final meant he would start the main final from 11th on the grid. Following some early lead changes Losi/Novarossi man Adam Drake took over at the front and extended his lead out to a lap followed by Ronnefalk in 2nd and Elliot Boots in 3rd. The Drake started to make some errors and with 11 minutes to go David was only 11 seconds behind and closing. Some more mistakes from the American and the European B Champion was through to the lead, and when he pitted Mugen/RB driver Boots was up to 2nd. With 7 minutes left Ronnefalk went in for his final stop and this allowed Adam back to the front, but again more small mistakes from the American and some close battling saw Ronnefalk taking the win from Elliot Boots in 2nd with Adam Drake taking 3rd. Consolation for the American was that he won the brushless buggy event ahead of Joern Neumann in 2nd and David Ronnefalk in 3rd.

Seen for the first time in International competition, this pre-production version of the all new Kyosho Touring car is being raced at this year’s DHI Cup by European Championship finalist Christopher Krapp, who tells us that the new car is much better balanced for use with LiPos. Developed by Shin Adachi, it features bigger bore shocks, which are also longer, new shock towers front and rear, new rear hubs, new stabilizer points front and rear and a higher top deck for accommodating LiPo packs, such as the latest Team Orion version installed in his car. The motor mount is also new and brings the motor 1mm closer to the centre line for better weight distribution.
