Race report by Alexander Landén
This is the most competitive indoor series in Sweden in buggy.

This weekend I competed in the WBC Cup round 4 in Sweden. Sunday was 4WD day and in 4WD I managed to qualify 2nd. I managed to win the first final which was great! In the second final I made some small mistakes and had a short radio interference, but managed to salvage a third place in that one. In the last final I had a good run, but came in second to Niclas "Nille" Mansson. By that Niclas was able to take the overall win. Since this was my first visit on the podium in WBC I was still happy with making a second place finish. I was also best placed junior driver.

The car was working really well and I felt I could push really hard with the setup on it.

In 2wd I managed to qualify 5th, but we had massive problems with radio interference almost the whole day. Dad changed everything on the car, ESC, receiver, motor and servo, but we still didn't get rid of the problems. It was a shame since the car setup was really great and to be able to qualify 5th with only two rounds without problems still feels good.

In the end I wound up 8th since the car was almost impossible to drive in the finals with all the interference issues.

Congratulations to "Nille" for making the double this weekend and to Wilhelm Skjöldebrand for placing as best junior driver in 2WD.
