Jyri Konoila, another Team RF and TRF415MSX MRE driver, secured third place overall to confirm the domination of the TRF chassis in the Pro Stock class!
This marks the second year that Team RF and the TRF415 has won the FinTrack championship. Who will it be next year?

The eight round of the Finnish FinTrack Electric On-Road Championship was planned to be held at the small track in Laukaa on Saturday August 18th. In reality this was the seventh round of the championship though as the previous round had to be postponed due to heavy rain.
The race at Laukaa was run mostly in the dry, but towards the end of the day a few rain showers made the conditions very tricky. The track at Laukaa is quite small, but with smooth asphalt and fairly good grip. Even though it’s quite small and tricky it’s quite an ok track to drive even with the extreme power of the modified class.
In the modified class Tamiya TRF415 and Racing Factory team driver Teemu Rytsy took TQ ahead of drivers like Juho Levänen and Sakke Ahoniemi; a great achievement by the young RF driver. In the first final he held his place in a very impressive manner after extreme pressure from the other drivers. The second final was a bit rough with a few too many mistakes but in the last final in the rain Teemu managed a second place after some drama. This was enough for Teemu to take the overall win ahead of Juho in second and Sebastian Trzaska in third.
This was the first win for Tamiya in Finland in the extremely competitive Finnish modified TC class and an amazing result by Teemu – Huge Congratulations Teemu!

The Pro Stock class has so far been dominated by the Tamiya TRF415 and this continued at the Laukaa round. After qualifying, 4 out of 7 drivers in the A-final run the TRF chassis. Unfortunately the win slipped away this time but Henry Salmén finished second overall which was enough to secure the championship!
