Oliver Fischer wins Danish 1/8th off-road opener

The opening round of the Danish 1/8th off-road nationals was held in a large horse riding indoor arena and with the participation of some swift guests from abroad. The laid out track offered medium grip and a tight, flat layout. In the qualifiers Oliver Fischer (HB) and Magnus Frandsen (TLR) battled it out for the TQ spot and ultimately with two round TQs and a second place finish Oliver would take the overall TQ. After the semi finals Peter Harder (Xray) grabbed the pole position for the finals and he would also lead the field in the opening stages of the A-main but two mistakes and also problems with traffic let him drop down the order. Peter was able to recover but it wasn’t enough to challenge leader Oliver Fischer and he also had to defend himself against a storming Pelle Culmsee in the closing stages. Up front Oliver Fischer would bring home the win from Henrik Steiner while Peter Harder had to settle for third.
