Kiss-Orban wins at Hungarian nitro on-road nats Rd1

The Hungarian nitro on-road national series kicked off last weekend at the Hungaroring. The weather was a little bit tricky and the qualification heats where run under rainy condition, but fortunately the 30 minute final would be run under dry conditions. The TQ went to Zsolt Bajusz (Capricorn/Max), but he soon lost the first place due to a small mistake. This allowed Laszlo Kiss-Orban (Capricorn/Reds) to pass Zsolt and from that moment on he never looked back to take the win from Zsolt Bajusz and Matyas Mohl (Serpent/Picco).
