Hendrik Lainemäe doubles at Baltic Championships
The 2015 Baltic Championships were held at the freshly renovated Tartu racetrack with drivers from Latvia, Lithuania and Finland in attendance. In the 1/8th Nitro Buggy class Rainer Ressar was able to grab the TQ by winning three of the five qualifiers. The 45 minute main final at first saw Rainer in the lead and even building a gap on the field but problems with backmarkers cost him some time later on, allowing Hendrik Lainemäe to catch up. After a pit incident when Rainer was blocked by another car Hendrik made it through and he was able to cruise to the win despite a chasing Rainer who started closing the gap to the leader. Ultimately Hendrik brought home the title from Rainer with Igoris Vilcinskas completing the top 3.
