And so the European Finals was concluded September 6-9th at Santa Pod Raceway UK during four days which spoiled us with blue skies and summer heat. A fantastic end to the 2012 FIA and UEM Championships and the Santa Pod Racers Club and Trakbak crew performed their tasks to excellency running the event. A great crowd of spectators had chosen to enjoy the action live and by the end of the European Finals late Sunday afternoon we finally knew who all eight new FIA & UEM Champions were!
In this edition we introduce the champions under the "Presenting the Champions" article. In the eight Class reports we brief you about how the European Finals proceeded in each championship class and we have included a lot of great photos as always.

As a special feature we have included the Race Report TV-show in this newsletter! Don´t miss to watch the show which covers the championship classes and is broadcasted also on traditional TV channels that can be seen in many countries.
