Renaud Savoya wins C-Netic Challenge

Factory Xray/RB/Sweep driver Renaud Savoya made the second stop on his Asian Tour, hitting up the C-Netic Challenge race in Indonesia, getting in some last minute international running prior to the World Championships in 6 weeks time. Reno filed the following report. “Asian tour round 2. This time I flew to Surabaya, Indonesia for C-Netic challenge. From what I saw last year, the track seemed to be one of the most selective in the World. That came true as the layout was fully 3D, with 9 meters elevation on the back section. The club put a serious work together to get this done. Asian racing is probably one of the best place to race RC in the world as they have crazy layouts, professional marshals, awesome pit area etc.

With 197 participants during the season the Bawü Cup is one of Germany’s biggest Off-Road racing series. The 6th and final round took place at Großheubach recently which attracted only 80 drivers this time because of the bad weather forecast. Sonic engines driver Ralf “Bombe” Dennenmoser dominated the event TQ’ing both the truggy and the buggy class as well as winning both semi finals and finals. In the truggy class he managed to do 11 minute pit-stops which gave him a big advantage over the other competitors.
