Victory for Hupo Honigl at Austrian Nats Rd1
Hupo Honigl reports from the first round of the Austrian Nationals last weekend in Steyregg, which is a very unique track with a lot fast corners and really low traction. The weather was beautiful and the club did a good job with preparing the track. In 2wd qualifying local hero Hans-Jürgen Tormann, a former European A-Finalist was quickest and got TQ in front of me. In the Final we had a very good battle and I won in the first 2 finals for the overall win with the DEX210. In 4wd my DEX410v3 was very good again during the whole race and I took TQ and won the event.
