Xray Racing Series Poland Rd1 – Report

The Makis/Atlas Arena played host to the opening round of the Xray Racing Series Poland with about 150 drivers attending in the 1/10th off-road classes. The track was built using EOS carpet and was quite a challenge for the drives due to its fast nature and some corner jumps. The Modified Buggy classes were dominated by the two young Xray drivers Bartek Zalewski and Bartek Kramza. In 2WD Mod Buggy it was Bartlomiej Kramza with the win as Bartek Zalewski had to settle for 2nd overall. Wojciech Migal came in 3rd to round out the podium.

Mibosport Cup Rd1 – Report

The 2019/20 season of the popular Mibosport Cup kicked off in Hrotovice, Czech Republic last weekend. The event saw about 200 entries from the Czech Republic and surrounding countries with prominent guests being Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski and Turkish champion, Xray’s Mustafa Alp. Both the on-road and off-road track were laid out with a new high traction carpet, allowing the cars to go fast from the get go. Also the qualifying received a small update with a new points format being used over the previous FTD format. The new season also brought the addition of two new classes in the form of FWD Touring and GT Stock 17.5T. The latter targets first and foremost hobby pilots due to being slower than the current 17.5T Touring category. In addition the GT bodies make for more visual impact and both classes are great replacements for the now scrubbed pan car classes that suffered shrinking driver fields while also messing with the traction due to their foam tyres.

Inaugural BKlassic Race – Report

Hobby Action Raceway of Chandler, Arizona held the inaugural BK Race this past weekend. Brian Kinwald was a special individual. He lived and breathed RC and at a young age, showed the world that he was not like any other racer on this planet by winning the IFMAR World Championships in Basildon, England, in 1993. That was his first WC title and in 1997, Brian went on to win it again, but this time for Team Losi Racing. With two WC titles and a ton of National titles under his belt, Brian is undoubtedly considered one of the best to hold a radio. But what is truly special about Brian Kinwald is the influence he had on young racers back then and for many decades to come. Unfortunately, the news of Brian passing earlier this year was felt throughout the entire industry.
