Mike Gosvig wins Danish 1/8th off-road nats Rd7

The 7th and final round of the Danish 1/8th off-road nationals was held in Bramming. The purpose-built track was located within a large indoor riding arena and offered quite a low grip and one or the other tricky jump. Following Saturday’s 1/8th E-buggy race the nitro buggies would race on Sunday. The opening qualifier saw Magnus Frandsen taking the round TQ from Mike Gosvig and Henning Warner. In the second round Mike stroke back on new tyres, securing himself the TQ some 2 seconds in front of Magnus Frandsen and Pelle Culmsee. For the third round Mike changed his tactics and tried to get the maximum out of his buggy which at the end paid out as the TQ’d the round some 11 seconds from Jan D. Hansen in 2nd spot.

Jason Nugroho wins Jakarta Buggy Championship Rd4

The 4th round of the Jakarta Buggy Championship was held at the Graha Raya Track in Serpong, West Java. The race format would be 3 rounds of 10 minutes qualifying with the two best rounds to count followed by the finals with 5 drivers bumping up to the next main. The 45 minute main final then got tough and challenging for many drivers as the dusty track caused a lot of flame-outs and it was Jason Nugroho, coming from 5th position on the grid, who made the best out of the conditions by getting in front around the 30 minute mark and never looking back. The Xray driver was able to retain the lead to take the win in front of Adrian Wicaksono (Kyosho) and Chopin Yusuf (HongNor).
