Hungarian Electric Championship Rd1

The opening round of the 2017/18 Hungarian Electric Championship kicked off in Kartal, Hungary. The series will be held during Fall and Winter on several carpet tracks and in both off-road and on-road classes. In 2WD Buggy Zsolt Bajusz Junior, Balint Rajki and Zsolt Bajusz made up the top 3 positions after the qualifying. In the opening A-main Zsolt Jr. and Rajki had a nice run with Balint waiting for a mistake of Zsolt but the latter had a flawless run and so the two would come in 1-2 and separated by only 0.2s. The second main was a different affair though as Balint made an early mistake while the leader had a comfortable gap. The lead would change many times though and ultimately it was Balint with the win in A2. For A3 Zsolt Jr. tried different tyres but it did not went to plan for him and Balint was able to get into the lead and bring home the win and with it the overall victory from Zsolt Bajusz Jr. and Daniel Schweizer.

Arrowmax Asia Race Cup China Rd2 – Report

Round 2 of the Arrowmax Asia Race Cup Chine returned to the AMA Indoor Arena in GuanZhou. The 13.5T Stock Touring class draw a record entry for this round and current point leader, Ali Lee was keen to wrap up his ticket to the grand final in Japan. With plenty of newcomers for this round, Boon Yang from Singapore prove to be a serious threat. With Boon taking a surprise victory for the first round of qualifying, Ali was under extreme pressure and a mechanical problem would force him out of contention for the second round of qualifying while being in the lead. Elsewhere Boon would suffer a serious hit from others which dropped him right back. In the decisive round, Boon again had no luck with the backmarkers and would only score a 3rd place finish, while Ali would take the round and effectively locked the TQ position with a 1st and 2nd place finish.
