Race Report by Aris Bornovas
On the 17th of March we participated in the penultimate race of the 2018-2019 Buggy Masters cup at the STR track located at Agios Ioannis Rentis, Greece. After struggling in the first qualification due to wrong setup choice we made up for it in the second one, running the full 10 minutes with no refueling and making no mistakes. This brought us directly to the semifinals where we finished second.

During the final we managed to keep up the long mileage strategy refueling every 10 minutes, making few mistakes and unfortunately catching a bit of astro turf in the last few laps preventing our right back wheel from spinning freely. Nevertheless, we managed to finish 3rd in the Main.
