Edgaras Riabko is the new UIM F2 European Champion.
The Lithuanian won all 4 heats of the 2018 Championship in Zarasai, at an event that he had organised.
Duarte Benavente stayed consistent and takes the Silver Medal home to Portugal, with Russia’s Konstantin Ustinov rounding off the podium places with Bronze.
Tobias Munthe-Kaas will drive home thinking, ‘what could have been’. The Norwegian qualified in pole but was disqualified in Heat 1.
From there he posted a 5th, 3rd and a second place to Riabko in Heat 4.
