Hey Garen,

It was so close this EC Final, Ielasi was very quick and was more than a lap in front but due to little mistakes and a dead receiver battery in the last lap he crashed and didn't finish.
Balestri however mist the start was a lap down and than began an impressive recovery, in the end, 2 minutes to go, he was in 3rd behind Vuga, than he passed him and was in 2nd, 8 sec behind the struggling Ielasi.
When Ielasi crashed, Balestri only had to finish, it was the last lap, but he ran out of fuel a couple of metres before the finish, if only........................
The top three where also within 2 seconds!
Almost a Motonica European Champion, but they showed a lot of improvement, very concistant laptimes, in the and even the fastest.
I'm curious what the outcome will be with the prototype rear-end they used overthere.
It will be very strange if they would't change it because the car was much easier to drive and still very fast and stable.
So go Motonica
