As a result of his excellent performance at the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals, David Vegter moved up to the second position in the FIA European Pro Modified Championship.

Less than two weeks after the unfinished business at Tierp Arena, it’s time for the famous NitrOlympX at the Rico Anthes Quartermile of the HockenheimRing.

After rain delays the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals comes to a halt
After a long two days of qualifying, the last thing the FIM-E fields needed to see when they woke up this morning was rain. Worried glances at various weather apps and rain radars were the order of the day while the Tierp Arena track crew worked hard to clean the racing surface and shutdown area.
