The third round of the Czech 1/10th Off-road Nationals took place last weekend at the Rychvald astro turf track in the Czech Republic. After races on carpet and dirt this was the third different track surface for the championship so far.

However most drivers voted to carry on with racing and the local club did a great job in preparing the track to be at least possible to drive on.
