The German XRAY Nitromasters was held on Sept 6/7 in Albertshofen near WĂĽrzburg.
Fifty-four drivers made it to the new track to compete in the Truggy and Buggy classes
Due to heavy rain, the track was in a very bad condition on Saturday oo only a few drivers went out for practice. Unfortunately the rain didnâ™t stop until Sunday morning, so the decision was made to run only 2 qualifiers.

Buggy final
The buggy final was very close with the first 5 cars within a 10-second span. Thomas SĂĽĂźmuth took the lead in the first corner, followed by the other cars within a short distance. With only 2 laps to go Thomas made a little mistake and allowed Dominik Holzmann to pass him and take the win.
In the Truggy final, Florian Laux was unable to hold his first starting place due to clutch problems. Thomas Grosser overtook Florian and took the win. Bernd Langbein encountered problems and finished 10th.
Truggy results:
1. Thomas Grosser (XRAY XT8)
2. Florian Laux (XRAY XT8)
3. Benjamin Doleschal
