Jörn Neumann wins German 2wd title

This years German 2WD Nationals were hosted by the AMC Langenfeld club last weekend and attracted a total of 93 drivers. Saturday saw three practice runs for everyone as well as three qualifiers. On Sunday there two more qualification runs and the best two out of five would count. Jörn Neumann TQ’d all five rounds with his LRP powered Associated B4 while in 2nd was Benni Gröschel and 3rd Marc Pitsch. A1 was held under sunshine and Jörn took the win followed by Benni and Marc. For A2 the weather changed completely to very heavy rain and Jörn´s car stopped after 1 Lap. Benni took the win in front of Marcus Lübke and Christoper Krapp in 3rd. For the final leg the weather was much better and Jörn could take the win followed by Benni and Marc and that’s how it would end in the overall results too with Neumann taking the overall title ahead of Gröschel in 2nd and Pitsch in 3rd.

Thanks to Jörn Neumann for the report.
