Report by Alain Sarafyan
Turkey 1/8Offroad Championship 2024 Race 2
Luleburgaz - Turkey

The 2nd race of the 1/8 Buggy Championship organized by RC Park in Luleburgaz was completed with great competitions again.

I finished the qualifying rounds in first place in both the Electric and Nitro categories and started the finals in first place.

We changed the format of this Nitro race and made it much more difficult. In a “Last Man Standing” style, without Marshall, each pilot had to get down from the tower for 45 minutes and fix both their vehicle’s fuel and their overturned vehicle on the track without anyone’s help. While it was already very difficult to go without accidents and mistakes under our difficult track conditions, raising the level in this way made the race even more difficult.

In addition to the performance of the vehicles, the pilots also had to be agile and make a fuel strategy. The rankings changed continuously in this difficult race, the excitement was at its peak, and it was not clear who would win until the last moment. But fortunately, I was the winner of the day.
After the race, according to my smart watch, I had burned 1,030 calories and my pulse had risen to 167.
