Kilic opens ’24 season with third ‘OneRace OneMan’ win

Mugen Seiki’s Burak Kilic has opened his 2024 season in the best way possible with a third 1:8 Nitro Buggy victory at the annual ‘OneRace OneMan’ race at the IBR Padova indoor facility in northern Italy.  Second in qualifying behind Infinity’s Riccardo Berton, Kilic would like up P4 for the 45-minute final after the Semi Finals.  A previous winner of the race in 2018 and 2021, the German would take his third win ahead of new Xray signing Alex Zanchettin with the HB Racing of Theo Lemaire from France completing the podium.  Having qualified fourth but securing pole position for the final with victory over Zanchettin and Kilic, WIRC Racing’s Marco Baruffolo would lead the first quarter of the race until he was forced to retire with a throttle servo failure.  In eBuggy, Berton took the win from 2023 Nitro Buggy winner Mattia Polito with Lemaire making it a double podium at IBR Padova.
