Round five of the Funnycars Cup was held in Usti an Labem over the weekend. The Usti track is a pretty unusual affair as it is built into a hillside and thanks to the recent rebuild it is now covered in astroturf. The race format was four rounds of qualifying and triple mains for the finals and in the 1/8th E-Buggy class it was Vaclav Broz who took the pole position while teammate Vojtech Soukup placed his buggy on the 2 spot. In the mains Vaclav then came out successful to take the day’s win from Vojtech.
