Peter Harder wins Danish nationals Rd1

The first round of the Danish nitro off-road nationals took place on a purpose-built track in an indoor horse training arena. The qualifying saw Oliver Fisher being the dominant driver so he quite easily took TQ but Peter Harder was in pursuit and was able to take the lead in the main final only on the second lap. Peter then started to build quite gap on the second place driver and he was close to lapping Oilver halfway through the final. But then Peter started to struggle due to an erratic behaving car allowing Oliver to close up. With around 5 minutes to go Oliver was on Peter’s tail and then things got even worse for the Xray driver as a tyre started to come off but at the end Harder was able to maintain a 0.8s gap handing him the win in front of Oliver Fisher and Jan D. Hansen.
