Pelle Culmsee takes Danish 1/8th Off-road Nats Rd1

Round 1 of the Danish 1/8th Off-road National Championship was held at the Modelbilklubben SOS in Bjæverskov. Saturday was washed away due to bad weather and the wet track meant that the available practice was limited, making for a tough time for all drivers especially as the track started to dry up during race day. In the end Pelle Culmsee (HB Racing, Team Orion, AKA) came out on top after the main final from Magnus Frandsen (SWorkz, SPower, TPro) in 2nd while Nikolai Lamberts (TLR, Ultimate, Pro-Line) had to settle for 3rd on the podium.
