M8 Season opener in Turku


Race reports by Max M., 30.5.2022
Mayako driver Joseph Quagraine took the victory in front of a local young gun Kasper Haahti and the third place finisher Pekko Iivonen. It was Tomi Salonen who took 4th and Max Mört 5th to round out the top 5. The track in Turku, chosen to be the season opener, proved to be a tough challenge and we saw a lot of technical problems in the 45 minute final. Arttu Syrjänen who lead the final had to retire whilst battling for the lead and many others like the top qualifier Ari Heinonen and the second place starter Joona Haatanen had technical troubles.
