Zuber & Hundertmark win at North German regionals

Round 3 of the North German Off-road regionals was held at the astro turf track in Celle near Hannover. The weather was great on Sunday but the challenging and bumpy track, that changes traction a lot during the day, made things difficult. Unfortunately the turnout of drivers was pretty low meaning a lot of hassle for drivers who competed in more than one class. Overall and in the stadium truck class it was John Zuber who brought home the win from Michael Bossel and Mirko Johne while the 4WD class was won by Lars Hundertmark from John Zuber 2nd and Olaf Stein 3rd.

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.

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.
