Neumann dominates 4WD Buggy in Poznan

Unbeaten in 4WD Buggy en route to becoming the inaugural TLR/Spektrum Euro Offroad Series Champion, Joern Neumann looks set to add to his tally of consecutive wins after the Team Durango driver dominated qualifying at the opening round of season No.2 of the series today in Poznan, Poland. Securing the overall TQ honours in Q3, the European Champion stamped his authority on the class when he completed a clean sweep of the time sheets by topping the fourth & final heat with the fastest 5-minute run of the day.  Closest to Neumann during the day was team-mate Hupo Hönigl who in the penultimate qualifier got within 5-seconds of the German.  That run, Honigl’s fastest of the four heats, secures him second on the grid ahead of fellow LRP/Durango driver Benni Gröschel who showed well in Q1 and Q4 when he was second fastest behind Neumann.

Surprise Short Course TQ for Evans at EOS Rd1

Team Losi Racing’s Dustin Evans pulled off a major surprise in Short Course qualifying at the opening round of the 2012/13 TLR/Spektrum Euro Offroad Series in Poland as he ended Durango’s domination of the class becoming the first driver apart from Joern Neumann and Hupo Honigl to take overall TQ honours.  Improving his Losi Ten-SCTE every heat the American found his rhythm in Q3 & 4 topping both rounds to become Top Qualifier ahead of Neumann who was fastest in Q1 and Honigl who was fastest in Q2.  Having been a class apart last season in 4WD Short Course with Losi’s drivers never a serious treat, in Poznan Evans has completely reversed the tables.

Neumann 2WD Top Qualifer at EOS in Poland

Joern Neumann is the 2WD Buggy Top Qualifier for the opening round of the TLR/Spektrum Euro Offroad Series presented by Horizon Hobby after he made it three TQ runs from four in the final round of qualifying.  Dustin Evans, the pace setter in Q1 and only driver who could deny the defending champion pole for tomorrow’s finals going into the final heat, looked like he might get the job done after a mistake by Neumann but 3 laps later the American rolled his TLR at the end of straight loosing a massive 6-seconds. Finishing second 4-seconds behind the Durango driver, Evans will line up on the No.2 spot on the grid with team-mate Darren Bloomfield, who got his first 17-lap run in Q4, set to start third.

David Ronnefalk wins VBC race Rd1

The 2012/13 season of the 1/10th electric off-road Swedish Indoor Winter Series recently took off and the 2WD class saw a record entry of 53 drivers. Kyosho driver David Ronnefalk made a first appearance with the new RB6 2WD buggy and after some initial experiments with the setup David was able to grab third position for the finals just behind Otto Ausfelt and Oskar Levin. The A-finals saw two race wins from David who took the overall victory in front of TLR’s Oskar Levin and Otto Ausfelt. The 4WD class was a much easier affair for the Kyosho driver as he was able to win the first three qualifiers and took TQ with Niclas Månsson managing to take the final qualifier. The first A-final saw a tough battle between David and Niclas who both suffered from mechanical problems in the last lap but they still managed to cross the finish line with Niclas taking the win in front of David. A-final two and three were and all-David affair, he took the win in both and therefore the overall victory in the 4WD in front of Team Associated driver Niclas Månsson and Kyosho team mate Christoffer Svensson.
