János Birinyi wins at RCProf SP Challenge Rd6

The 6th round of the RCProf Speedpassion Challenge was recently held in Budapest. In the 13.5T Stock ckass János Birinyi took the overall TQ after winning all three qualifying rounds. János then was able to win the first and second A-final quite easily in order to grab the day’s overall win. A3 was only for the books but proofed to be very exciting for the Xray driver as he was struggling with a backmarker which cost him the lead around the 2 minute mark. He was able to regain the position after some risky driving and won the final with a new Stock class track record. Behind János Tamás Ponghó and Péter Taál finished second and third respectively.

Last year the event saw Tamiya’s Viktor Wilck take his first ETS win in 19-races while on the first visit to the island Kyosho’s Christopher Krapp took his maiden victory, both drivers ending the dominant start by Yokomo’s Ronald Volker to the past two seasons.
