Paparegas takes 6th consecutive Greek IC Buggy title

The fourth and final round of Greek 1/8th Buggy Championship took place at the Renti track with drivers from all over Greece attending the event. Reigning champion, Tasos Paparegas (Xray) was in attendance to defend his title with a 4th place overall being enough for him to take another national title. Qualifying went well for him but at the start of the A-main he went into issues with slower drivers that send him dead last. However Tasos would start a comeback and ultimately he would end the race on the 3 spot which was enough for him to take his sixth consecutive title. Anapoliotakis (Tekno) would end the day on the highest step of the podium from Kyosho driver Papanikolaou in 2nd. Overall in the championship, Anapoliotakis took the runner-up spot from Papanikolaou 3rd.
