Dunavölgy wins Rd2 of Hungarian 200mm champs

Dunavölgy wins Rd2 of Hungarian 200mm champs

The 2nd round of the Hungarian nitro on-road championship was held in Pécs which is one of the oldest but still the most active RC track in the country. The track recently got a new higher rostrum for a much better view, so everybody was looking for some improvements in lap times, which finally came up to the expectations in each category. 1/10th 200mm proved to be the most exciting class of the weekend since 4 to 5 drivers where on the same pace. Qualifications were held under changing weather conditions and the 1st round of qualifying turned out to be the “rocket” round as some rain showers hit the track just before the 2nd leg. With time being too short to completely regain traction until the last round meaning only a few drivers were able to move up in the grid during the day.
