Austrian 1/8th IC Track Nationals Rd4 – Report

The fourth round of the Austrian 1/8th IC Track Nationals was held at the MORAC track last weekend. The usual suspects of Mihelic and Pucher battled for the top spot on the 1/8th Nitro class. Setting the early pace in free practice on Saturday, Mihelic TQ’d while Pucher won the Super Pole with only one Lap to qualify directly to the main final. The 45-minute main final was a clean run for the pair that separated from the field by almost five laps, leaving behind their main competitor Gerhard Kandelhart in 3rd place. It was a pitty that Pucher ran out of fuel on his last stop at the 40-minute mark which prevented him from challenging Nejc to the end. This allowed Njec to bring home the win two laps in front of Pucher and another four laps in front of Kandelhart in 3rd. Winning three out of four races Nejc also secured his 4th title in a row with Pucher in 2nd and Kandelhart in 3rd.

Schumacher Dart Cup Rd5 – Report

Round 5 of the Schumacher Dart Cup was held this past weekend at the RC Track facility, about 50km outside of Warsaw. The track offered a very smooth surface and a fast layout with a few technical jumps and the same cool bridge as in round 4. After a great fight between Bartek Kramza, Iwo Czarnecki and Bartek Gogacz, Bartek took the overall TQ in 2WD and 4WD. Unfortunately before the main finals it started to rain and the grip dropped to zero making the race even more exciting. In the opening 2WD final Bartek Kramza was able to fend off the constant attacks of Iwa Czarnecki and Wojtek Rzepecki for the win. In the second final Iwo Czarnecki dominated the race while in the final leg and after a hard fight with Iwo it was Bartek Kramza with the win and the overall from Iwo in 2nd.
