Scootentole Season Final at Magny Cours, 21st - 22nd Sep 2012

On 21st and 22nd September the Scootentole season final race took place at the Magny Cours racetrack.

The Scootentole series consists of 3 races and became quite popular among the ESC drivers.

After the last races of the ESC in Hungary were dominated by heavy rain, we had hoped for a nice, warm weekend.

Unfortunately, the Friday practice at Magny Cours had to be completed in rain as well.

So best choice was the Sava monsoon rain tire.

As the rain got even heavier on Friday night, all our hopes for a dry race on Saturday were gone. Even the cautiously optimistic online betting weather service could not really brighten our mood.

On Saturday we were surprised by a drying track which made it possible to drive the first free practice and qualifying.

With the Sava tires the rather slippery path could be mastered quite well. Nevertheless, the top times were still at 1:10, and once the water vanished from the track, Maik Persch (ESC175) could set the best lap at 1:08.

It remained dry throughout the day, so it was not a hectique tire change from dry to wet tires.

So on Saturday we could easily use the Sava Super Sofat tire for the front wheel and the Soft Drinks one for the rear.

On these tires, and despite a very significant departure just followed by a hanging throttle slide, Maik Persch (this year's champion of the ESC) could win the overall victory in the class C3.

The award ceremony took place in usual high spirits. A nice food buffet, followed by raffle rounded up a nice end to the day.
