Coelho und Bayer siegreich beim WarmUp zur IFMAR-WM Elektro 1/10 Offroad

Am Wochenende fand in der Hudy-Arena in Trencin das WarmUp zur IFMAR-Weltmeisterschaft Elektro 1/10 Offroad statt. Die Strecke wurde dafür im Vorfeld fertiggestellt und natürlich stand es den Fahrern und Teams frei, dass Rennen als Training für die diesjährige IFMAR-Weltmeisterschaft an dieser Stelle zu nutzen. Aufgrund der zahlreichen Rennen im Jahr nicht einfach, zumal gerade das Reedy Race of Champions 2019 stattfand, wie auch das EFRA Euro A WarmUp 1/8 Offroad und viele weitere mehr. Wenn wir den Blick auf die A-Finalisten werfen zeigt sich nicht nur, dass Xray erfolgreich war, sondern es zeigt, wie spannend es zur IFMAR-Weltmeisterschaft werden wird. Mit Ryan Maifield fehlte der amtierende Doppelweltmeister, dann u. a. Jared Tebo, Ryan Cavalieri, Ty Tessmann, David Ronnefalk und einige mehr.

Bis zur IFMAR-Weltmeisterschaft bleibt noch Zeit für die Hersteller und Fahrer an den Fahrzeugen zu tüfteln. Nun ein Blick auf das Ergebnis vom Wochenende:
