The Austrian 1/12th scale Stock Nationals were held on the permanent indoor racetrack of the MAC Traiskirchen, just outside of Vienna. The event attracted a good turnout of drivers thanks to the 10.5T motor limit in combination with “blinky” speed controllers. Robin Kaiser took the TQ and win with his CRC Xti in front of his teammate Dominic Vogl and Rene Dockter also using a CRC Xti WC car.

Joern Neumann remains the unbeaten DHI Cup Champion in 4WD Buggy when for the second year running, the German again saw off the challenge of Martin Bayer in the third A-Main. With a win a piece, Bayer winning A1, the pair went into A3 exactly as they did 12-months ago with a winner takes all situation. Starting from the TQ position Neumann would only briefly relinquish the lead when Bayer attempted a move on lap 3 and had to wait on Neumann to retake position as David Ronnefalk drove past the recovering Durango to take a short lived lead. While Bayer had the pace to challenge his carpet track nemesis a series of mistakes from the Czech driver would drop him to fourth leaving him to again finish second overall.
