Gerhard Kandelhart defends Austrian Championship title

Last weekend the last final round of the Austrian 1/10th 200mm Championship was held at the SFMAV track in Nußdorf. Despite the good weather forecast, on Saturday afternoon the track was still partly wet from overnight rain. The conditions made it very difficult to get a faultless run in and it was Gerhard Kandelhart who excelled in these conditions as he took all four qualifiers on home soil. Leonardo Varga secured the P2 spot for the final in front of Franz Engel, both having their problems with the track conditions.

Coelho does the double at EOS Poland

Bruno Coelho has opened the new season of the Euro Offroad Series in the best way possible with the Xray driver doing the double in Poland adding the 4WD win to yesterday’s 2WD victory with another faultless performance in A2. Also securing the bonus point on offer for the TQ, the reigning 4WD Champion finds himself already three points in the lead of both the 2WD & 4WD standings. Having secured his first ever EOS double at the penultimate round of last season’s championship, today’s 4WD victory marks the World Champion’s 7th win in the class setting him up perfectly to become the first driver to do equal Joern Neumann record of 3-consecutive EOS title wins. Behind Coelho the 4WD podium would be, as it was in 2WD, an all Xray affair with Bayer winning A3 to secure second overall with Daniel Kobbevik having a great weekend to claim his first EOS podium. Ty Tessmann would claim 4th on his EOS debut with David Ronnefalk best of the rest, the HB Racing driver being the top non Xray driver with 5th, having been in contention for a podium placing before a coming together with Tessmann in A3.
