It is in German, sorry.
At this event Swiss Champion Patrick Hofer and former European Champion Hupo Hönigl will take part.
Under normal conditions (outdoor) I loose 7 seconds on Patrick 
This might be the evidence that, no matter which car I drive, I need more practice.
But as a father, mountainbiker and with a job that wont release me for 10 hours a day, I just do not have enogh time.
Therefore I choose to drive XR just because it is a Tamiya and I like the look of it.
Sometimes it is just nice to build and tune a chassis and use it on the track
The XR for an outdoor clay track.
We have carpet jumps, but all in all it is low low low grip. We had blue grooves just one evening before a big race, after some rain all grip gone.
One of the more ambitious tracks around :-) |
I'm pretty much in the same league. Father of 4 kids ranging from 4 to 11. The oldest has just started racing. With all the family commitments, work and no local track - the nearest is 1.5hours away I don't practice. Club racing is practice!
I race Tamiya for the same reason, love the quality and the fact that it looks great and is something different.
I'm glad the kids are interested, just more work in the pits though for me!
