Kammer wins East German 1/8 IC Track regionals Rd1

Round one of the East German Nitro On-road regionals was held in Senftenberg on a technical low-grip track. In the 1/8th IC class Toni Gruber (WRC/Novarossi) would take the TQ after the qualifiers in front of the Shepherd/Mikrotek duo of Michael Kammer and Torsten Müller. After the start of the main final Toni took the lead in front of Torsten and Michael. Due to a rain shower shortly before the start of the main the track was pretty difficult to tackle, leading to early mishaps of Toni and later Torsten. Later and due to a thunderstorm the main had to be called a day some 17 minutes into the race, handing Michael Kammer the win from Xray driver Wilfried Stecker with Torsten Müller rounding out the podium.

Thanks to Torsten Müller for the report.
