Joseph Quagraine doubles at Finnish 1/8th Nats Rd1

The first round of the Finnish 1/8th Off-road Nationals was held at the Jyrkkälä track in Turku in the two categories of nitro and electric. Before the start of the 45 minute Nitro Buggy main final Joseph Quagraine broke his buggy’s engine due to radio problems and a servo that jammed at full throttle. Having called for a 10 minute delay to fix the problem Joseph and his mechanics rushed into the pits, changed the radio tray and engine, made it back on time, tuned the engine and started the race from the last position. With 7 minutes to go Joseph grabbed the lead and he kept it until the end of the race, handing him the win.
