Mikael Larsson takes 5th at Sugo
Posted 2010-10-16 by Theo de Bruin
Long time BFR driver Mikael Larsson scored a 5th position in the Simracing Team Challenge race on Sugo last thursday. The fast Swede is in great form lately and managed to qualify in the top 10 for the 4th race of this years Black Cup.
Despite struggling to find a good rythm Mikael kept out of trouble and made two good pitstops. Towards the end of the race Larsson was in 5th position chased by Yuri Braham of Flying Dutchman Racing:
"A few laps to go and Yuri was closing in fast but I really wanted that 5th! Made a small mistake and he passed but he made a mistake himself at the same lap and I was up to 5th again! Now I was going really easy and defensive not giving him any room to pass."
The other BFR driver, Konrad Stanczak, was not as succesful. An early crash beyond his fault had him pitting early and Konrad lost a lot of positions. After 47 laps the engine of the BFR Doran blew up.
The race was won by RPM�s Marcin Skrzypczak, followed by Kevin Clark of FOR. Black Rebel Gregory Degreef took the last spot of the Sugo podium.

Posted 2010-09-20 by Theo de Bruin
Blue Flag Racing`s Theo de Bruin scored the first points for BFR in the opening race of the STC Black Cup 2010 on Spa.
