Pietsch & Gassauer win at 1/8th on-road nationals

The 2013 German 1/8th nitro on-road nationals took place this past weekend at the MSC Kirchhain track. Mixed weather conditions tortured the drivers who competed in the faster class 1 and the more hobby oriented class 2. In class 1 Mugen’s Robert Pietsch took home the winning honours in front of Shepherd driver Oliver Mack and Shepherd team mate Maximilan Vogl who grabbed the 2013 Youth title. Michael Salven (Serpent) came in fourth securing him the “Old Dude” title with Philip Sting (Serpent) completing the top 5.
