Hupo Honigl dominates 2wd at Austrian opener
The first round of the Austrian 1/10th off road nationals was held last weekend in Simmering, Vienna home to the 2003 European Championships. Hupo took his DEX210 Prototype to a comprehensive victory. Hupo took all four qualifiers to secure overall TQ and set about the finals in the same manner, taking both opening legs of the A-Main to take the win. Hupo took 3 out of the 4 qualifiers in the 4WD class with his DEX410 for the TQ position and #1 for the finals. An amazing series of finals which saw battles with fellow Team Durango star Martin Kriel for the lead. Hupo needed to take the last leg of the A final to take the win and lead by 4-5 seconds until close to the end when a bearing failure cost him the win. Team Durango DEX410s finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
