BRAVO KEVIN
One year after his debut in 1:10 electric touringcar racing at the 2012 IFMAR Worlds in Heemstede, Race2theWorld winner Kevin Pignotti (17, Italy) has now won the Italian National Championship in this highly contested championship.
Kevin raced an Associated TC6 chassis and was the only non-sponsored racer in the main final. His victory is even more amazing if you consider that he lacks the knowledge and experience needed in this class of specialists, for example his car lacked over 15 km/h topspeed on the fast Gubbio track but was able to make up for that with his suberb driving and racing skills.
Since the 2012 IFMAR Worlds Kevin raced quite a few 1:10 electric TC races in VRC to get a better feel for this class. Kevin contributed his VRC Pro racing experience in this class to be able to win this major national championship. (Kevin only raced 1:8 nitro 2WD before...)
We congratulate Kevin with this championship, and we are sure even bigger titles lay ahead of him. He is an extraordinary talent, his VRC Pro results show that, his real r/c racing results prove that now as well.
Watch the A-Main 3 video, Kevin is the yellow car starting from 3rd position (watch in 720p quality).

After the worlds last year I asked him wether he would continue in the ISTC class. It was a good decision that he did, a super performance!
