Martin Achter crowned 2wd World Champion

Having qualified on pole position, securing the position with another leg win in qualifying today, Martin Achter of Germany is the new 2wd World Champion. In an event only attended by 17 drivers it was actually Craig Laughton that won the first leg of the final but Achter, driving an Associated B4, responded by going out and winning both second and third legs with very cool driving. Craig ended up as runner up with Albert Claassons taking 3rd, with the top 3 unchanged from how they qualified. The 4wd class gets underway tomorrow with practice, where Martin will begin as favourite once more, driving the new Durango DEX410.
