Wij ontvingen een kort rapport van Motonica over ras van het Kampioenschap van het vorige weekend het eerste Oostenrijkse dat bij het spoor van Kirchberg, gastheer van deze jaren Europese 1/8ste `B' Kampioenschappen werd gehouden. De race werd gewonnen door Herfried Pucher drijvend P8.0R, minder dan een overlapping voor de bestuurder Harald Hofer van het Serpent in tweede terwijl de 3de vlek naar Kyosho racer Thomas Sutrich ging, die verder terug een overlapping was. Herfried had het volgende om over het ras te zeggen:
Het seizoen begint vrij goed! De nieuwe auto is zelfs 2/10 snellere toen 2007. Ik kwam bij het spoor op Zaterdag ochtend aan. wegens het feit, dat ik het goed ken, begon ik enkel met één of ander testend programma betreffende van de schokolie en lente configuraties, om het achtergedeelte te stabiliseren! De auto was snel van begin, en het grootste voordeel was, dat ik zeer constante overlappingen kon beheren!

Mario Sowka wins Austrian EP Rd1 Categories - Events, Electric, On Road, National, Racing - 1 comment so far 
The first round of the Austrian Electric Touring car Nationals were held recently at the RMC track in Vienna. Practice took place on Friday and Saturday under dry conditions and this allowed the drivers present plenty of time to perfect their setups for qualifying. In the qualifying it was local Xray driver Mario Sowka that claimed the pole position for the 3 leg A-main, in front of European buggy Champion Hupo Honigl driving a Tamiya while HB racer Thomas Pumpler took 3rd. In the final it was Pumpler that took the first leg, after Sowka made a mistake and dropped to 5th, but recovered to 2nd by the finish. In the 2nd leg it was Hupo that was leading early on but a small mistake and Mario was through to the lead and despite some more pressure, including a collision, the Xray driver could take the win. The final leg saw a collision early on between Mario and Hupo and this dropped both out of contention and allowed Pumpler into the lead, but he was followed closely by Patrick Gollner who could take the lead and leg win after a small mistake by Thomas and this result gifted the win the Mario Sowka, with Thomas Pumpler claiming 2nd and Hupo gaining the final podium spot.
