Hall successfully defends both British 1:10 Offroad titles

Team Associated’s Tommy Hall has successfully defended both his 2WD and 4WD BRCA British 1:10 Buggy Championship titles, the latter coming to a thrilling conclusion at the season finale hosted by Robin Hood Raceway over the weekend.  In Saturday’s 2WD action, the title already wrapped up by Hall, it was Schumacher’s Ben Smith who took the TQ and Round 6 win ahead of Hall and Neil Cragg.  His first win of the season, the result helped him to claim the runner-up spot in the championship 1-point ahead of Cragg, the weekend marking the end of the former World Championship illustrious racing career.  In 4WD, Hall needed to TQ and win to retain the championship and the former European Champion rose to the occasion.  Winning A1 & 2 ahead of Smith to claim his third win of 2025, it was this that gave him the tie-break over Smith as they both ended the championship on 150 points – Smith with two wins, Hall with three.  Getting a guard of honour from his fellow A finalists, Cragg would complete the season finale podium and claim 3rd overall as he signed off on racing having achieved the century of National Race wins earlier in the season.

Gruber takes second ENS win of 2025

Capricorn’s Toni Gruber has claimed his second win of the 2025 Euro Nitro Series, the German taking the Round 3 victory at Apeldoorn in the Netherlands ahead of Mugen Seiki’s Simon Kirzbuch.  Winner of the season opener at Ettlingen in Germany, Gruber would secure the TQ by topping the opening 3 of the 4 rounds of qualifying.  Posting a TQ run in the final round, reigning Champion Kurzbuch, who won the previous round at Aigen in Austria, would qualify second on the grid ahead of Infinity’s Teemu Leino and ARC’s Silvio Hachler.  Despite tricky weather conditions for finals day, the dry 45-minute Main would see Gruber dominate to win by almost 2-laps from Kurzbuch despite the Swiss driver setting the fastest lap.  The big moment of the race would come as it approached the final minute, as Leino’s car had a problem and came to a halt, this allowing Hachler to complete the podium.  In 1:10 Nitro Touring Car, Poland’s Jakub Rozycki continued to rule the season as he made it three wins in a row finishing 2-laps clear of defending champion Melvin Diekmann and Tim Benson.
