Here's a race report from the 1983 euro champs held in Milan Italy.

Thank Paul!

Could we have the "Finals Results" sheet as a separate pic or the first page as close as possible to 250MB.

The writing really is tiny even with the magazine in front of me

Here's a closer image, hopefully it will be easier to read.

I wonder what the "offensive words" were on Finn Gjersoe's bodyshell. So bad that they got him disqualified



Paul.

Hey guys,
its a long time since the Milan Euro 83, and we were young and hot headed. The danish contingent had arrived a day early and we were denied acces to the purposebuildt track where the italians were practising. We got upset:-)

The writing on my car bodyshell was the F word, and since i now have the opportunity i apologise to Italians in general.

My car was fast and so was I, and I have since enjoyed working with many italians.

Hi Finn, great of you to post

I think we were all young and hot headed once, and i think far worse is done these days

Do you still race?

Sorry, no digital pictures of my Panther car, to early for that. I left racing in 1985 when i graduated mech engineer and started working. I wrote a small book of chassis tuning and car setup (in danish) and had Ole Harder publish it to be distributed for free among the danish racing community. I have heard that it is still in use on scandinavian race tracks today. Many of my opinions about caster/camber/toe in, weight distribution and much more was captured and is difficult to find information on in most books on RC racing.

I raced 1/12th with Parma equipment and 1/8th with Serpent. Since ive now entered this forum i better go watch the next danish RC race:)

Have fun and juice up those batteries and engines!
