Heroes Winter Cup – Report

The 2nd season of the Heroes Winter Cup just ended, a championship of 5 outdoor races that takes place in the middle of the freezing winter on the GAMES track in Segrate near Milan, Italy. Rain, ice, cold, fog weren’t enough to stop the passion and desire to race of a large group of enthusiasts who defied any adverse weather conditions in order to participate. The rules are very simple, the same combo for everyone (Robitronic Razer 3000kV), fixed Ratio 6.0, Porsche bodyshell and plastic chassis with shaft drive (Rally Legend, Carten T410, Tamiya TT02, Yokomo SD Sport and many others). The very soft compound tires (Team Power 26R) did the rest.
