Swiss 1/8th Off-road Championship Rd4 – Report

Round four of the Swiss 1/8th Off-road Championship was held at the multi-surface track of the Valceresio Racing Team in Viggiu. The track offers at least four different surfaces including different grades of astro turf as well as challenging elevation changes and jumps which makes setup crucial. Around 100 drivers signed in for the Expert and Amateur classes. The 45-minute main final of the Expert class saw some very intense racing in the opening minutes when the top positions got mixed up. Jeremy Pittet lost some places and valuable time but got back into the lead later although he had to pit more often than second placed Robin Frischkopf who had to defend his position against Patrick Hofer and Joachim Kallen. At the end Jeremy brought home the win in front of Robin who was 12 seconds clear of Patrick in 3rd place.

Kyle McBride takes Queensland State Championships

Last weekend Pine Hills Dirt Racing held the 2015 Queensland State Championships on a large and extremely high speed, and when dried out, very high grip track. The event started off with two rounds of practice and two rounds of qualifying on Friday. The weather wasn’t kind to the drivers on the first day and they ended up with a few rain showers, which dropped the grip on the track and made it quite slimy. Kyle McBride TQ’d both of the qualifiers for that day and he would went on to take the overall TQ following four more qualifiers on Sunday. The top 10 qualifiers went straight into the A-final, and following one 10-minute practice they went straight into the 45-minute final. Kyle started off the main with a clean start and went on to have a smooth race with no mistakes over the 45 minutes and he took the championship by over two laps of the entire field.
