Volker sets practice pace ahead of 20th Reedy Race

Ronald Volker set the pace in practice today ahead of the 20th running of the Reedy Race of Champions. The defending champion set the fastest 3-consecutive laps of the Tamiya Raceway track ahead of 2015 Champion Marc Rheinard with Reedy Race first timer Bruno Coelho completing the Top 3. While the heads up racing format means today’s time count for little, probably the biggest news from the four practice run was the low traction. This has left drivers slightly unsure of what to expect going into the first of the 12 rounds of racing tomorrow morning. With a newly laid top surface to contend with, clouds prevented the California sun from bringing up track temperatures with the cool conditions leaving drivers unsure of what to expect tomorrow.

Pinisch & Hönigl win at Austrian 1/10th Buggy Nats Rd1

Round 1 of the Austrian 1/10th Electric Off-road Nationals was held at the MRC Oberaich track. Although rather big for a 1/10th scale race the track is among the favourite of most drivers with the natural dirt surface being very challenging but a lot of fun. Saturday started off with a track that got really bumpy but also offered high traction yet overnight rain changed things massively, leading to much lower grip but a smoother track. After some very close racing in the 2WD mains, Peter Pinisch (Team Associated) walked away with the win from Xray’s Hupo Hönigl while Stefan Pfeiffhofer (Team Associated) had to settle for 3rd overall.

Later Sander made a mistake that promoted Jarno into the lead while behind him Sander and Jordy were in a fight for the runner-up spot. This allowed Jarno to open a gap that he would hold onto until the chequered flag. Jordy would ultimately come in 2nd from Sander in 3rd.
