Martin Bayer doubles at Astra Nitro Cross

The Astra Nitro Cross 2013 was held last weekend at Auto Bayer arena in Slavkov u Brna and Martin Bayer gives a short rundown on how the meeting went. The event is the largest in the Czech Republic with many drivers from Europe attending the annual event. The track again was pretty challenging with banked turns, technical corners and difficult jumps. Rain on Friday meant the race started a little later than planned and practice was limited to rounds with a following qualification round. The first practice round was run on a wet track but that later on dried up. Xray’s Martin Bayer was able to TQ both openings rounds of the nitro buggy and electric buggy class. On Saturday four more rounds of qualification were run and again both classed been dominated by Martin. Five minutes before the third run a heavy rain interrupted the racing making it necessary to cancel the round.

The finals would be run on Sunday and again Martin was up to his game winning the first two electric buggy A finals. In the nitro buggy class he struggled a bit in the semi final but at the end he took the pole position for the main final and later on also the A final win letting him take home the second win of the day on his home track.
