Toms Pukitis wins at Estonian EP Off-road Nats Rd2

Round 2 of Estonian 1/10th Electric Off-road Nationals was held at the newly built Saue HOBI zone off-road track. The small and technical track would prove to be challenging even for the best drivers that Latvia and Estonia had to offer. In qualifying, Team Associated driver Reimo Kosk would take the TQ in front of the Xray duo of Toms Pukitis and Juri Ressar. They were followed closely by Andreas Tolpt and Tonis Lattik. Reimo would go on to win A1 in a tense fight with Toms, the young man would hit back in A2, leaving a full on shootout for A3. In the middle of the race however Reimo would face technical issues, leaving the door open for Toms to take the overall win from Reimo in 2nd and Juri Ressar in 3rd.
