VIII. Lestr Cup 2016/17

Am 8.April 2017 fand das letzte Rennen zum Lestr Cup statt. Vor Ort sind nicht nur einheimischen Piloten, sondern auch Freunde aus den umliegenden Länder, darunter auch Deutschland. Vor allem genutzt wird dies von Fahrern vom MBC-Oberlausitz e.V., welche eine eigene Offroad-Strecke haben und auf dieser das ein und andere Rennen austragen. Der Oberlausitz-Cup wird einigen bekannt sein. Beim letzten Rennen konnte Arnold Lorenz vom MBC-Oberlausitz den vierten Platz in der Klasse 2WD erringen. Eine Klasse Leistung, bei dem starken Teilnehmerfeld.

Englische Version

The 8^th and final round of Lestr Cup series took place last weekend in Dubec. Organizers prepared a very interesting track with three long straights and then a series of double jumps and a tabletop, quite fun to drive – thank you!

In practice both my Hobbywing powered XB2 and XB4 felt great, so we didn’t make any changes on the car and I just learnt the track.

In 2wd qualifications my XB2 was great and TQed all three qualifications ahead of XB2s of Milan Mudra and Zdenek Miksovsky!

In 4wd my HW powered XB4 was amazing and TQed easily Q1 and Q2. Unfortunately collision with backmarker in Q3 meant that I finished 2^nd in Q3 and young Milan Mudra took TQ. However overall TQ went to my XB4!

Finals were pretty much the same story as qualifications – my XB2 and XB4 managed to pull away and won all three finals in both classes! Second overall finished young Milan Mudra and third Zdenek Miksovsky – TOP 3 for XB2 and XB4!!!

2wd TOP 5:

Kaja Novotny (TQ) – XRAY XB2
2. Milan Mudra – XRAY XB2
3. Zdenek Miksovsky – XRAY XB2
4. Arnold Lorenz – Associated
5. Vaclav Broz – XRAY XB2

4wd TOP 5:

Kaja Novotny (TQ) – XRAY XB4
2. Milan Mudra – XRAY XB4
3. Zdenek Miksovsky – XRAY XB4
4. Jiri Dvorak – XRAY XB4
5. Vaclav Broz – XRAY XB4

As this was the last race of the series, there was also an overall ceremony and the titles in both main classes went to young Milan Mudra, big congratulations! I finished “somewhere” overall as I only did 3 out of 8 races, but definitely I want to come more often next season!
