Jon Hazlewood wins at Rhein Main Warm Up

Last weekend’s 11th Rhein Main Warm Up race not only saw the running of nitro and electric buggy classes but also nitro truggy racing. Agama’s Jon Hazlewood was in control of things all weekend, leading both the practice rounds and also qualifying to line up in P1 on the grid. The start of the main final went without problems for the pole-setter and ultimately Jon would bring home the win in front of TLR’s Andreas Bartels while old dude Abdullah Kilic (Agama) would secure himself the final spot on the podium.

Pelle Culmsee takes Danish 1/8th Off-road Nats Rd1

Round 1 of the Danish 1/8th Off-road National Championship was held at the Modelbilklubben SOS in Bjæverskov. Saturday was washed away due to bad weather and the wet track meant that the available practice was limited, making for a tough time for all drivers especially as the track started to dry up during race day. In the end Pelle Culmsee (HB Racing, Team Orion, AKA) came out on top after the main final from Magnus Frandsen (SWorkz, SPower, TPro) in 2nd while Nikolai Lamberts (TLR, Ultimate, Pro-Line) had to settle for 3rd on the podium.
