Stavanger Open Cup Rd1 – Report
The opening round of the Stavanger Open Cup was hosted by the Stavanger Modelcar Club at their new 1000 square meter facility. Offering different tracks such an off-road track laid out with EOS and an on-road track laid out with ETS carpet, the facility also includes a drift track. For round 1 nearly 60 drivers signed in to race in the six different classes of 2WD Buggy, 4WD Buggy and Truck as well as 13.5T Touring, 21.5T Touring Junior and M-Chassis. To offer amble track time, one seeding practice was held followed by four qualifiers and triple A-mains. Intended as a fun race series especially for younger drivers the event also attracted Norwegian Champion, Nikolai Haheim to race in the Stock Touring class while the off-road class were lead by Junior World Champion Daniel Kobbevik. The two then had now problems to win their respective classes and so they swapped cars and tracks in the final A-mains, much to the entertainment of everyone.
