Burak Kilic sweeps North German off-road regionals Rd2

Round two of the North German 1/8th off-road regionals was held in Kiel over the weekend. The race schedule saw practice on Saturday followed by the qualifiers and finals on Sunday and despite a very good track preparation by the club, the track was already pretty beat up after Saturday’s practice. The start of the 30-minute main final, run in pretty hot weather conditions on Sunday afternoon, saw Agama’s Berkan Kilic, coming from the 3 spot on the grid, jumping into the lead while pole position holder Burak Kilic (Agama) dropping back to fourth. But the young man would soon recover to fight for the win in a 3-horse race with his brother as well as Mugen’s Phillip Guschl. Ultimately Burak would grab the win after nice and fair battles with Phillip and Berkan who completed the podium result in second and third respectively.

Thanks to Abdullah Kilic for the report.

Martin Wollanka wins Austrian Nitro Buggy opener

The opening round of the Austrian 1/8th Nitro Off-road National Championship was held at the Graz track. Xray’s Martin Wollanka would dominate the qualifying with his FX-powered ride to take the overall TQ but after the semifinals he had to settle for second behind Dominic Bauer (Mugen/Novarossi) as he pushed a bit too hard, making two mistakes in the progress. The main final then was a 2-horse race between Dominic and Martin with both wanting to take the win. Running with the same pace the two were never separated by more than five seconds and at the end Martin finished only one second ahead of Dominic while Michael Nalukowy (Kyosho/O.S.) had to settle for third.
