Czech 1/10th Off-road Nationals Rd3 – Report

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.

In the 2WD class Kaja Novotny used his spare dirt spec buggy which was the jackpot as he was able to lap almost the whole field in each qualifying run.
