Default Hupo Honigl - 2WD Euro Champion 2009
Hubert 'Hupo' Honigl took the 2WD European Championship title in style today in Bilbao, Spain. Ellis Stafford took TQ on equal points with Hupo - but the first two legs of the A-Main were taken by Hupo to win the title.

Fabulous reports, altough I wished I could have been there as a spectator , these reports made me feel like I was there.

Jimmy, a quick question, does Hupo run the LRP X11 8.5t or the X12 ?
Looking at the pictures it looks like a X12.

Is anybody form Oople attending the Worlds in South Africa?

Why has nobody entered from the UK?

Why has Hupo Honigl not entered and the same can be asked for the rest of the drivers that made the effort to attend the Euros?

It can't be money, Spain is a much more expensive country than South Africa? Is it the IFMAR rule regarding batteries, only Ni-MH?
