Kyosho’s Jerome Aigoin is the top seed for qualifying at the 1:8 Offroad
European Championships after the quiet Frenchman topped the second
round of timed practice in France from Kyosho/Novarossi team-mate
Elliott Boots. Having posted the fastest time of the day
in the morning’s opening timed practice, Kyosho’s David Ronnefalk lost
around 7-seconds after a coming together with a slower buggy and ending
up only 10th fastest.

A driver who prefers to let his driving do the talking Aigoin was
pleased with his second run describing it as a ‘clean run’. Having ran
his AKA shod MP9 the same as the morning, the 2011 Top Qualifier said
other than ‘clean it’ he will do nothing to his buggy for the first
qualifier adding that ‘all is good’ and that he is confident for
tomorrow.
Boots, who switched from Proline’s Ion in M4 compound to the M4, said he
initially didn’t think his MP9 was as good as it has less grip but
talking to other drivers afterwards he said he thinks it was the track
that was actually looser. As Mick Craddock, who has been key to Boots
recent rise to the top, pointed out this forced the 19-year-old to drive
smoother within the run, which while slightly slower was a better
overall drive than the morning. ‘Improving everytime’ he goes out on
the track, Boots said he is feeling pretty good now and he plans to
stick with the same set-up for the opening qualifying and working on
further improving his lines.
