The German 4WD Buggy and 4WD Short Course nationals was held last weekend at the track of the MAC Inzell, the venue of the annual IRoC race. Only 47 drivers show up at the technical clay track that features an U.S. inspired layout. The race director together with the race committee decided to run the race as a one day event because of the bad weather forecast. After the practice runs it was clear that four drivers would battle for the 2013 Buggy crown. Team Durango’s Jörn Neumann was leading the pack only days after confirming a deal with new electronic supplier Team Orion, in front of Team Associated’s Stefan Pfeifhofer and Patrick Hofer and with Oli Scholz (Team C) close behind. In 4WD SC is was again Jörn who had the best chances as his only real contender was Markus Metsch in second place.
