Austrian 1/10th Buggy Nationals Rd4 – Report

The 4th round of the Austrian 1/10th Electric Off-road Nationals was held on the astro-turf track of the MAC Traiskirchen club last weekend. Weather was again not on the racer’s side – it was raining all Saturday, and that was the reason why many people decided not to show up or opted to even drive home again. The remaining drivers still had good conditions and lots of fun on Sunday on a drying track, which made racing difficult, but fun. In qualifying it was a fight between Peter Pinisch and Hupo Hönigl in both classes with Hupo holding the upper hand to take the overall TQ in both classes. In the finals Lukas Grainer joined the club which made it a tight 3-way battle. Ultimately to was Hupo with the win in both classes as Peter and Lukas came in 2nd and 3rd respectively in 2WD while Lukas was able to grab the runner-up spot in 4WD, leaving behind Peter in 3rd. Over in 2WD Stock Buggy it was Michael Skolnik with the overall win from Hannes Mayer 2nd and Rene Levetzov 3rd.
