Frehner & Schmid take Rd4 of Swiss EP Offroad Nats

The Kaiju Racing R/C track played host the fourth and final round of the 2020 Swiss EP Offroad Championships. In the 2wd buggy class it was Associated driver Kay Frehner who took the top spot in qualifying and was also easily able to win the opening A-main. The 2nd a-main wasn’t so straight forward as Frehner had to battle with Fabian Luca Widmer (Yokomo) for the win, but was again able to come out on top to take the overall along with the Swiss National title. Fabian Luca Widmer could take the 3rd A-main to secure the runner up spot for the round with Nico Schmid (Xray) completing the podium in 3rd.

With Frehner also securing the overall 4wd title at the previous round the pressure was off for the season finale and so it was Nico Schmid that took the TQ spot in a 3-way tie with Widmer and Frehner. The Xray driver would go on to take the overall win but would take 3 legs to do it, having had a retire from the 2nd main. Fabian Luca Widmer (Yokomo) would secure the runner up spot thanks to his win in A2, with Fabian Widmer (Associated) taking the final podium spot.

In the truck class, Adriano Mariotto (Associated) took victory from pole position with Boris Jost (Associated) in 2nd and Dieter Schmid (Xray) in 3rd.
