Stammler and Gur take 1:10 Semis

German Serpent driver Dirk Stammler and Turkish Mugen driver Gorkem Gur have won their respective 1:10 Semi finals to progress to the Main final of the Bumod Grand Prix which is taking place near the city of Bursa in the north-west of Turkey. The Semi A saw Stammler take an easy win from American Xray driver Scott Rister. The pair were running on the same pace for much of the race but Rister’s Max cut in the later part allowing Stammler’s OS powered 720 to cruise to victory. In the Semi B, Winternats Champion DJ Apolaro took an early lead having started from pole position but two minutes in his prototype Serpent stripped a gear handing the lead to Austrian Richard Furtner. Rejoining 10 laps down, Apolaro set about a recovery drive lapping faster than any of his rivals but contact with another car broke something on the 7XX ending his chances of taking part in both Main finals later today. Furtner also hit some problems and dropped back to second with Mugen/Sirio driver Gur taking the win. Bulgarian Martin Petrov made it a good day for his family as he made it into the Main by finishing third, his father made it into the 1:8 final from the earlier 1:8 Semi A.

After the recent ISTC World Championships in California, Red RC gets ready to switches from electric power to nitro power as well as travel to the other side of the World to bring you coverage of the 10th edition of the IFMAR 1:10 Nitro World Championship. With support from Maxima RC Racing Fuel, T-Work’s Asia, Rapicon Max Power RC Fuel, SMART-Workshop, and Infinity, we are excited to be returning to Huge RC Circuit in Bangkok, Thailand, the track of former ISTC World Champion Suirkan Chaidajsuriya hosting the WC for a second time. In 2014 we got to witness Alexander Hagberg claim his first & Xray’s second World title at this unique (and huge!) indoor track. With 2024 a year that we have already seen two historic World title hat tricks, will we see Infinity’s Tadahiko Sahashi become the first ever driver to defend their 1:10 Nitro title? Our coverage starts on November 19 (Tuesday) and runs through to Saturday’s title deciding 1-hour final. We looking forward to you following along as IFMAR crowns its final World Champion of 2024.
