Neumann maintains EOS winning record

Joern Neumann pulled off an impressive feat at the opening round of the Euro Offroad Series in Poland taking the overall 4WD Buggy win to maintain his unbeaten run of consecutive victories.  The third season of the indoor series for 1:10 electric offroad, the Durango driver claimed win number 8 by backing up his Leg 1 win in the second A-Main but unlike the first 5-minute encounter he didn’t have it easy. Team Xray’s Renaud Savoya mounted a serious last lap challenge on the German but unfortunately for the French ace he would over jump the double just before the finish line.  Sending his XB4 into the barrier it allowed Neumann to take the leg by 1.8 seconds. With Hupo Honigl, who was running on Savoya’s rear gearbox, spectacularly cartwheeling out of third on the last lap Martin Bayer completed the Top 3.
