MIBO International 2026 – Date Announcement

With newly crowned 1:8 eBuggy World Champion Marcus Kaerup adding his name to its roll of honour earlier this year, the date for the fourth edition of MIBO International has been announced for 2026.  Created by former international touring car racer Michal Bok back in 2023, the unique annual international event, that combines side by side indoor onroad and offroad racing, will take place from Feb 27-Mar 1st.  Held at the Sport V Hotel in the town of Hrotovice in the Czech Republic, the race also counts Ronald Volker, Michal Orlowski, Bruno Coelho, Joern Nuemann and Bartek Zaleswki among its previous winners.  With everything from the track, a restaurant, a bowling alley and hotel rooms all under one roof, the Sport V Hotel venue is always popular with visiting racers.  With a capped entry limit, the relaxed schedule means plenty of time in the evening to wind down and socialise over dinner after each day’s racing.  Officially a two and a half day event, the Mibosport promoted race gets underway on the Friday evening with practice allowing for travel Friday morning.  For the fourth edition, the onroad track will host racing for Modified, 17.5 Stock, and FWD Touring Car plus Onroad Kids, while over on the offroad carpet track, 2WD and 4WD Buggy make up the schedule with Offroad Kids giving the next generation of young racers a chance to race on the international stage.  The opening of registration for MIBO International 2026 will be announced shortly.

MR33 MTC-3 3D Aero Front Bumper

New from Marc Rheinard’s MR33 brand comes this 3D Aero front bumper for the Mugen Seiki MTC-3 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  Very flexible, which provides additional protection in the event of a crash, in on track performance it is very stable and its shape also ensures that the negative pressure under the front of the vehicle is reduced.  As a result, the front axle of the car is pressed less “upwards” and the car remains more direct even at high speeds and has a better position on the racetrack.  Approximately 6 grams it has the same weight as the foam bumper from the kit.  Slightly longer than the original, this means less foam is required in the body for bodies mounted far forward.

Coelho ends Orlowski’s ETS winning streak

Infinity’s Bruno Coelho has ended reigning ETS Champion Michal Orlowski’s 12 race winning streak by taking victory at Round 3 in Luxembourg.  In qualifying it was Awesomatix driver Lucas Urbain, a previous winner at his home track, who secured the overall TQ with two fastest runs over the 4 qualifiers.  Topping Q4, Orlowski would line up second ahead of Coelho with Q3 pace setter Marc Rheinard securing P4 ahead of the Mugen Seiki of practice Top Seed Ronald Volker.  With the first A-Main run on Saturday evening, two great passes would see Coelho go to the front and take the win ahead of Urbain with a late spin dropping Orlowski to 5th.  A2 would see Urbain lead from Orlowski, Coelho and Rheinard as the Top 4 held station but approaching the final 2-minutes Urbain ran wide giving Orlwski the lead. Then at the track’s famous cork screw corner a mistake from Urbain dropped the Fremchman to fourth.  With Orlowski in control, as the race came up on the final minute the newly crowned European Champion came to a halt handing Coelho the lead as the Polish ace DNF’d. Winning by 2/10ths of a second from Rheinard’s Awesomatix, it secured the World Champion his first win since joining Infinity at the start of the 2025 season.  In A3 Urbain would get the win ahead of Orlowski and Mugen Seiki’s Sören Sparbier to secure the runner-up spot with the podium completed by Rheinard with Orlowski ending up in 5th behind Sparbier.  In Stock, Awesomatix’s Olivier Bultynck continued his perfect season taking the TQ and win number 3.  He was joined on the podium by Tim Benson and Lukas Ellerbrock.
