Jörn Neumann takes 2WD class at EFRA Euros

The 2014 EFRA Electric Offroad European Champsionships are being held this week in Trelleborg, Sweden. Run on a somewhat tricky clay track built into an ice-hockey stadium, all drivers seem to have a bit of a hard time on the short and slippery track. In the 2WD class, run earlier this week, defending champion Jörn Neumann (Team Durango) took the opening three qualifying rounds, looking to have secured the TQ position early but a late charge from Lee Martin (Yokomo) handed the UK star the pole position for the A-finals as he TQ’d round 4 and 5 with a faster time, denying Neumann the prestigious TQ spot.
