| Race report by Kaja Novotny |
|
| The 4th round of Euro Offroad Series took place last weekend in Wels. Organisers prepared this time a bit strange track with very long jumps and many high speed corners. |
|
|
After very close racing in 2wd, everybody was thinking the same â“ how close will be 4wd?! And the answer was â“ very close. TOP 3 of Bruno, Michal and Jorn were like 1-2 seconds in front of the rest and then there were like 15 guys in 3 seconds fighting for A-main. Eventually Michal Orlowski took TQ with Jorn in 2nd and Bruno in 3rd! XB4 was again the most represented car in A-main with 4 cars!!
In finals it was the very same TOP 3 fighting for the win with again Daniel Kobbevik joining the fight! Eventually Bruno took the overall with Jorn in 2nd and young Daniel taking the final step on the podium!!!

2wd practice started well with Bruno Coelho topping the screens with XB2s of me, Martin Bayer, Hupo Honigl and Daniel Kobbevik all in TOP 10!
Qualifications were very close and results of each round were quite mixed, guys who got 2nd or 3rd in one round finished 10th in the next and so on ⦠However TOP 4 of Cragg, Orlowski, Coelho and Haatanen was pretty consistent through out all 4 rounds!
In finals the same TOP 4 fought closely for the win with Daniel Kobbevik also getting into the fight! Eventually Michal took the win, Neil finished 2nd and Bruno 3rd!

In Truck Modi my XT2 was rocking in practice and qualifications and took the overall TQ with XT2s of Max and Hupo lining up 2nd and 3rd!
In A1, my and Hupo´s mistakes gave Max pretty easy win. A2 saw both me and Hupo not finishing, which meant overall win went to young Max Gotzl! In A3, Hupo got quickly by Max and we thought all 5 minutes for the win and in the end it was my Hobbywing powered XT2, which crossed the line on the 1st place! |
