Bartek Kramza doubles at Schumacher Dart Cup Rd3

Round 3 of the Schumacher Dart Cup was held this past weekend at the RC Track, about 50km from Warsaw. For the third round the double jumps had been changed, creating a very difficult section. The first day of the competition was sunny and hot with the weather allowing to make maximum use the high grip of the astroturf surface. In the evening a lot of rain fell, so on the second day, racers with dirt racing experience had an advantage due to the grip being a lot lower. It was a great pleasure to watch the 4WD vehicles powerslide through the morning practice, however the track dried up completely until the finals. Bartek Kramza TQ’ed and won both the 2WD and 4WD classes with Iwo Czarnecki coming in 2nd in 2WD and David Krizak rounded out the top 3.
