International Indoor Race series Rd2 – Report

International Indoor Race series Rd2 – Report

The second round of the International Indoor Race series took place at the demanding Model Indoor Oss carpet track in the Netherlands. The track was made up from carpet combined with plastic floor and thick astro turf sections making for a good challenge for the drivers from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. In qualifying current 2WD European Champion Jörn Neumann was in control of things setting the fastest times and taking TQ in both the 4WD and 2WD class. In 4WD Jörn was able to conserve his form for the finals and therefore it was more of a race for second and third place as the Team Durango driver simply was too fast for the others. At the end Arie Vos was able to grab the runner-up spot in front of David Pauwels who secured himself the last remaining podium spot.


The 2WD finals were a much closer affair. After Wesley van Helmond (TLR) snatched the final qualifier from Jörn and Dutch talent Bryan van Rijnberk it was clear that Wesley would put some serious pressure on the German ace in the finals. After some hard fights and a couple of position changes in the first two finals, Wesley came out winning the 2WD class early by taking A-main 1 and 2. Jörn had to settle for second while Dutch 1/8th off-road champion Jordy Velder completed the podium on his first outing with a 1/10 electric buggy.
