Maltese 1/8th Nitro Offroad Champs Rd5 – Report

Round 5 of the Maltese 1/8th Nitro Offroad Championships was held at the MMORRC Rinella track in windy weather conditions and on a pretty dry and rough track. The qualifying had Kyle Spiteri, reigning the Maltese champion, taking the TQ in both the Nitro Buggy and Truggy classes. In the Buggy main Kyle then had to settle for 2nd place as his team mate and 2013 champion Dillon Cassar drove an almost faultless race from 2nd on the grid to take the win. With Dillon’s victory, this year’s buggy title will go to the wire and will now be decided in the 6th and final round. Whoever wins between these two drivers will take the 2015 Buggy title. As for round 5 of the championship, Chris Zahra finished in the 3rd spot.

In the Truggy class main, Kyle held the lead from start to finish. With this win Kyle has this year’s Truggy title almost under wraps with a round to spare. Chris Zahra came in 2nd at round 5 while William Mallia rounded out the Truck podium in 3rd. In the F2 Buggy category Luke Attard brought home the win from runner-up Nathaniel Attard and Ian Vella who rounded out the podium.
