Reno Savoya victorious at French buggy nats

The fifth and final round of the French nitro buggy nationals took place at the Chanu track in the north-western part of France. The track is often used by large scale buggies so it was difficult for the drivers to pull issue-free and consistent laps in the rough conditions. The final had Kyosho’s Jerome Aigoin and Xray’s Reno Savoya battling for the lead. Both drivers swapped positions several times until Reno was able to open a gab on Jerome about 15 minutes into the 45 minute final. In the second half of the main Reno’s buggy suffered a flame out so he lost the lead to Jerome but with five minutes to go the Xray driver was able to reduce the gab by 12 seconds. Then disaster stoke for Kyosho driver Aigoin as 3 minutes before the end Jerome had to retire handing Reno the win in front of Lorenzo Crolla and Jerome Aigion.
