Pirani & Schafer complete A-Main line-up

Andrea Pirani and Patrick Schafer will complete the 1:8 A-Main line-up at Round 2 of the Euro Nitro Series in Aigen.  A podium finisher at the opening round of the championship in Bologna, the WRC driver won on consistency rather than pace and did the full 20-minutes around the high wear track on the same set of tyres.  Unfortunately for pole starter Rick Vrielijnck it was a tyre stop that would prevent him race leader from bumping up.  Changing just the outside tyres, the Mugen driver would suffer an engine cut.  Unable to make back up the time lost the Dutch driver and Round 1 finalist would finish third, 2.3 seconds off Schafer.  Starting the race 8th, Shepherd boss Schafer would also change outside tyres after just 5-minutes, a strategy the German said ‘paid off’.
