Kaerup tops 2WD seeding at World Champs

Marcus Kaerup has topped seeding at the IFMAR 1:10 2WD Offroad World Championships, the Team Associated ace delivering the fastest 3-consecutive laps of the Hills RC Off Road track as Day 1 of the action in Sydney concluded under the lights. The 40th anniversary of the championships, a very tight timetable consisting of 15-groups per round would see the schedule fall behind resulting in the two seeding rounds being reduced to 4-minute runs. Fastest at the conclusion of the four 5-minute free practice rounds, Kaerup couldn’t carry that form into the opening seeding round managing only the fourth fastest time as Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski found his form again to go fastest ahead of Team Associated’s Davey Batta and Xray’s Bartek Zalewski. With it now dark at the track, the very vocal cockatoos finally quietening down and roosted in the surrounding trees for the night, Kaerup would shine under the lights on a much faster track with the newly crowned eBuggy World Champion topping the times by a tenth of a second over Orlowski. A further 2/10ths of a second back, an impressive Kouki Kato completed the Top 3 ahead of the similar cars of Aydin Horne, Lachlan Donnelly, Davide Ongaro and Batta. The only driver making the top heat of qualifying with their CP1 time being Zalewski who was best of the Xray drivers on what was a challenging day for the Slovakian manufacturer with their star drivers David Ronnefalk and Dakotah Phend seeding 15th and 49th respectively.

Kaerup tops practice in Australia

Practice at the IFMAR 1:10 2WD Offroad World Championships is complete with Team Associated’s Marcus Kaerup setting the fastest time in the fourth & final round at the Hills RC Offroad track in Sydney. With Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski the early benchmark with the fastest time after the opening two rounds, the second half of free practice would see Associated drivers come to the fore as Orlowski struggled with the latest track conditions. In the third round it was American driver Davey Batta who set the pace ahead of team-mate Kaerup before the Dane switched that order in the final practice with both the fastest 5-minute run and 3-consecutive laps. 2.5-second off, Batta was second fastest with former double World Champion Spencer Rivkin completing the all B7 Top 3. Over 3-laps Kouki Kato was closest to Kaerup, the Japanese driver’s 5-minute time not representative of his true pace as he missed the first lap because his Associated wasn’t switched on when the cars left pit lane. A driver on his first ever visit to Australia, French National Champion Clement Boda wrapped up an impressive practice by posting the fastest lap of Round 4 and fourth fastest over his 3 best laps behind team-mate Davide Ongaro.

Orlowski sets early pace at Offroad Worlds

Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski has set the early pace at the IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championship, the 2WD action getting underway on a lovely sunny morning here in Sydney, Australia. With the first of the four timed practices more a break in of the new track layout and and opportunity for drivers to get their bearings, over half the track in the shade of the trees, the second practice was a much more telling run. Orlowski would set the fastest lap with a best of 29.032 with the Team Associated of Davide Ongaro closest to that on a 29.112, that order the same over the best 3-consecutive laps. On outright pace it was the Xray of David Ronnefalk who completed the Top 3 but over the full 5-minutes the early bragging rights went to newly crowned 1:8 eBuggy World Champion Marcus Kaerup with US drivers Aydin Horne, 1.6-seconds off, and Broc Champlin making up the Top3.
