Hönigl & Pinisch win at Austrian EP Buggy Nats Rd2

The second round of the Austrian 1/10th Electric Off-road Nationals was held up north close to the Czech border at the dirt track of the GMAC Litschau. Low temperatures and a strong wind on Saturday cleaned the track which resulted in good traction – something Hupo Hönigl made maximum use of to grab the overall TQs in both the 4WD and 2WD classes. On Sunday though things changed a lot as hot temperatures left the track dusty and slippery. At the end of the day Hupo was able to convert his 4WD pole position into a win while in 2WD it was Peter Pinisch who took home the win while Hupo struggled a bit with his buggy’s setup.

Daniel Kobbevik successful at Summer Champs

The Hveren Raceway of Oslo, Norway played host to the 4WD portion of the popular Summer Champs race. Xray’s Daniel Kobbevik would set the early pace by winning all three qualifiers to take the overall TQ from Serpent driver Marius Kristiansen and Schumacher’s Steffen Larsen. The opening A-main then was smooth sailing for Daniel who took a convincing win from Marius and Steffen. A2 was pretty much a blue print of the opening main with Daniel looking smooth and controlled while others struggled to follow his pace. Behind him it was again Marius and Steffen for the top 3. For A3 Daniel opted to sit out to not disturb the race for the final podium spots. After some eventful five minutes it was Marius Mossum (Xray) with the win from Steffen Larsen and Magne Kobbevik, giving a podium result of Daniel, Marius Kristensen and Marius Mossum.

Mark Wallin wins at AARCMCC EP On-road State Titles

The 2017 AARCMCC EP On-Road State Titles were held at the Sydney Model Autosports track in the west of Sydney. The SMA track is a flowing technical track with a challenging layout to really test drivers abilities. The lead up to the meeting was dogged with bad weather which ultimately caused the meeting to be abandoned after the completion of qualifying. Saturday kicked off with a seeding run, each class was given a 5-minute session on the track, a drivers quickest three consecutive laps would then be counted for a total time that would seed the first three rounds of qualifying. In 1/12th Modified Mark Wallin went all in, using a set of brand new, un-cut and un-treated tyres and his decision proved to be a good one as he set a seed time of 52.068 seconds placing him at the top of the order for round one. The first round of 1/12th qualifying confirmed that Mark was going to have to work hard. After missing the seeding round, Ed Clark came out strong posting several quickest laps to take 2nd behind Mark in the round.

Dutch Electric On-road Nationals Rd3 – Report

The fast track of Rucphen in the south of the Netherlands played host to the third round of the Dutch Electric 1/10 nationals. A total of three categories were run with Formula, Touring Modified and Touring Stock. The touring classes were limited to one set of Volante tyres with the modified drivers being a bit concerned about tyre wear, because of the high strains that are being put on the tyres due to the high speed and high temperature. The race format was three qualifiers with the best two to count. In the Touring Modified class local driver Mitchell Van Es was the pre-event favourite as since switching to an Awesomatix he had proved to be extremely fast and consistent. And so he took pole with a 21-lapper and a fastest single lap time close to Olivier Buyltinck’s newly set track record. Athan De Witte put his car on a fine P2. He also improved his personal best to a 14.3, so he was quite happy with his achievement. Behind the two Sidney Blokker took 3rd spot in front of Rick Van den Akker and Govert Verbeke.
