Xray erfolgreich beim EOS Round 4 in Wels

Was für ein spannendes EOS am letzten Wochenende auf der Modellbau Wels in Österreich. Zuerst war der Vorjahressieger und Tabellenführer Michal Orlowski aus Polen in der Klasse 2WD siegreich und es sah in der Klasse 4WD lange nach einem Doppelsieg aus,doch dann schlug Bruno Coelho in seiner Paradedisziplin zurück. Aus deutscher Sicht ein toller Erfolg für Jörn Neumann, der seit langer Zeit wieder unter den ersten drei Piloten war. Für Team Xray war es trotz des verpassentes Sieges in der Klasse 2WD ein gutes Ergebnis, zumal Arthur Brulé und Max Götzl in Stadium Truck Stock und Modified ein Xray XT2 zum Sieg fuhren.

Race report by Kaja Novotny

The 4th round of Euro Offroad Series took place last weekend in Wels. Organisers prepared this time a bit strange track with very long jumps and many high speed corners.

After very close racing in 2wd, everybody was thinking the same – how close will be 4wd?! And the answer was – very close. TOP 3 of Bruno, Michal and Jorn were like 1-2 seconds in front of the rest and then there were like 15 guys in 3 seconds fighting for A-main. Eventually Michal Orlowski took TQ with Jorn in 2nd and Bruno in 3rd! XB4 was again the most represented car in A-main with 4 cars!!

In finals it was the very same TOP 3 fighting for the win with again Daniel Kobbevik joining the fight! Eventually Bruno took the overall with Jorn in 2nd and young Daniel taking the final step on the podium!

TOP 10:
1. Bruno Coelho – XRAY XB4
2. Jorn Neumann – Schumacher
3. Daniel Kobbevik – XRAY XB4
4. Michal Orlowski (TQ) – Schumacher
5. Martin Wollanka – Sworkz

10. Kaja Novotny – XRAY XB4

2wd practice started well with Bruno Coelho topping the screens with XB2s of me, Martin Bayer, Hupo Honigl and Daniel Kobbevik all in TOP 10!

Qualifications were very close and results of each round were quite mixed, guys who got 2nd or 3rd in one round finished 10th in the next and so on … However TOP 4 of Cragg, Orlowski, Coelho and Haatanen was pretty consistent through out all 4 rounds!

In finals the same TOP 4 fought closely for the win with Daniel Kobbevik also getting into the fight! Eventually Michal took the win, Neil finished 2nd and Bruno 3rd!

In Truck Modi my XT2 was rocking in practice and qualifications and took the overall TQ with XT2s of Max and Hupo lining up 2nd and 3rd!

In A1, my and Hupo´s mistakes gave Max pretty easy win. A2 saw both me and Hupo not finishing, which meant overall win went to young Max Gotzl! In A3, Hupo got quickly by Max and we thought all 5 minutes for the win and in the end it was my Hobbywing powered XT2, which crossed the line on the 1st place!

1. Max Gotzl – XRAY XT2
