| Last weekend the biggest European offroad carpet series â“ EOS took place in Warsaw, 2nd round of the series. Organisers prepared this time quite difficult technical track which basically had everything in it â“ long corners, corner tabletop, fast sweepers, wall, jumps in corners, ⦠It really showed who is the best âśbehind the wheelâť! |

We started with âś2wd partâť â“ 2wd Buggy Modified and Stock and Stadium Truck Stock.
In 2wd Modified, Michal Orlowski topped practice but everyone knew 5 minutes compared to 2 laps can change the game a lot!
In qualifications Michal continued to dominate and TQed 3 out of 4 rounds! The only time Polish talent didn´t shine was when Bruno Coelho blasted in round 3 which gave him 2nd place on the grid! Daniel Kobbevik and Joel Valander made it also to A-main!
