Race Report by Hupo Honigl:

The second round of the Austrian Nationals 1/10th off-road went back to a traditional off-road dirt track after the first round was held on an astro turf track. For me personally, I was happy we had again the traditional real dirt, but it seems it is getting less and less popular these day between the drivers.

We found the track in the north of Austria in a very good shape when we arrived, a bit dusty and slippery in the beginning, but it cleaned out pretty fast and traction came up quiet fast.

After the rain in the night the track lost all its traction and racing on sunday was really close on the loose track - so we saw all kinds of different traction levels through the weekend, which is in my opinion the beauty of real offroad racing.

My cars were awesome in all conditions and I did not change a single thing on both cars all weekend.
