Widmaier crowned Austria 1:8 Buggy Champion

Sworkz’s Micha Widmaier added to his 2025 Austrian National Championship tally by securing the 1:8 Nitro Buggy title at the MAX RC Car Racing track over the weekend.  Recently crowned both the 1:10 2WD and 4WD National Champion, Widmaier would take the overall TQ on tiebreak with the similar buggy of Julius Siklodi, each posting two TQ runs from the four rounds of qualifying with Martin Wollanka completing the Top 3.  Each driver would win their respective Semi Final with Widmaier’s win over Marc De Zwart securing him pole position for the 45-minute Main with Siklodi lining up P3.  While Siklodi would keep Widmaier on his toes in the final, setting the fastest lap of the race as he tried to chase him down, it was Austria’s top international driver who took the win by just over half a lap.  From 7th on the grid the Team Associated of Andreas Mayr completed the podium as he just held off De Zwart.
