RB’s Daniel Reckward took TQ for the finals with Martin Bayer (Xray) and Carsten Keller (Kyosho) in tow. Marcel Guske (TLR) and Jörn Neumann (Team Durango) completed the top 5. The 40 minute final race was a very close affair for the top 4 drivers who all finished on the same lap. At the end it was Martin Bayer who took the first round of the 2013 German championships 20 seconds in front of Marcel Guske and Daniel Reckward who crossed the finish line some three seconds behind Marcel.
