Swiss 1/8 off-road national championship Rd4 – Report

The 4th round of this year’s Swiss 1/8th off-road championship took place in Gland near the Lake Geneva with about 130 entries. The TQ went to Swiss champion and Top 25 Euro driver Jeremy Pittet in front of Robin Frischkopf. At the end of the lower finals the track started to become bumpy and rutted making it not easy for the main finalists, lead by pole position holder Yael Zurfluh and Robin Frischkopf. The 45 minute final was clearly led by Yael with Robin Frischkopf, Joachim Kallen and Jeremy Pittet fighting for 2nd place. Jeremy ran into problems early so the fight for the runner-up spot was on between Joachim and Robin. Both swapped positions several times while being on different fuel strategies. With leader Yael being only a couple of corners in front Robin started to attack near the end of the final but problems while lapping backmarkers cost him dearly and had him falling back to 3rd place. At the end Robin also ran out of fuel but this incident had no further influence on the result. At the end Yael Zurfluh (TLR) took the win from Joachim Kallen (Kyosho) and Robin Frischkopf (Xray).
