Cto. Mallorca TT, victoria de Joan Torrens
Jorg Van Leuken takes Netherlands 2011 title
Last weekend we saw the last race for the 2011 Netherlands 18 Off Road Championship at Pumernend (North Holland)
Jorg was clear favourite for overall victory, but he still had to place at least 3rd to secure the championship. Jeffrey Halsema, racing at home was the favourite to take the race. However, J. Van Leuken managed to TQ at the very last qualifying second.
In the final, local driver Halsema confirmed the forecast and took the victory followed for the new Champion, Jorg Van Leuken.

Robert Batlle – Merlin Fuel – Campeón de Europa
Concluye el Cto. de Europa 2011 con victoria de Robert Batlle. Era el claro favorito, pero nos ha hecho sufrir durante las calsificatorias y durante la final.

Finalmente Robert lo ha conseguido. La final no ha sido nada fácil. Sus compañeros en el Podium, el francés Jêrome Aigoin y el ex-campeón de l mundo Daniel Reckward, eran realmente rápidos. Robert ha tenido varios problemas en la final incluyendo una penalización «stop & go» y un vuelco al adelantar a un doblado (Jerome Sartel).
Sin embargo, Robert tenía un As en la manga. El trabajo realizado con Novarossi poniendo el motor a punto con Merlin Advance, le ha permitido repostar a los 9 minutos, por lo que ha entrado una vez menos que sus rivales en el box, lo que a tenor de la exigua diferencia con el 2º y tercer clasificado ha tenido un peso importante en el desenlace de este apasionante campeonato.
Desde Merlin Fuel, nuestra enhorabuena al flamante campeón y por supuesto a todo el equipo que acompaña
