The final round of the Swedish Indoor Buggy Masters series was held at the HB Racing/Team Orion racetrack this past weekend. Going into the final round teammates David Ronnefalk and Hampus Berg were both tie on points in the 2WD class while the 4WD title was already taken by Hampus. The race was held in a Reedy-style format and going into the final heat Hampus had scored five wins while David had three wins on his belt so far. With the best four rounds to count and the best round being the tie-breaker, David was on a very good pace in his last heat and Hampus started to look nervous.
