Robin Frischkopf wins Swiss E-Buggy Championship

The maiden season of the Swiss 1/8th E-Buggy Championship concluded with race three and four held at the Luetisburg astro turf track in Eastern Switzerland. The weekend started out cold and with light rain on Saturday and in the qualifiers Kevin Zwahlen (HB) and Romeo Grass (Xray) set the pace with Robin Frischkopf (Xray) rounding out the top 3 result. The A-main on Saturday then saw Robin fighting for the win although he lacked traction as he was using Minipin tyres, knowing a Spiral tread would be faster. After a couple of position changes Robin was able to take the win some two seconds in front of Kevin Zwahlen.

Top 5 result:
1. Robin Frischkopf – Xray
2. Kevin Zwahlen – HB
