Report of offroad race:
Class: 1/8 nitro buggy
It was 1st race of Latvian offroad summerseries. Race was held in Latvia, at Kangarnieki offroad track at 21 May. Track was VERY bumpy. Drivers: 30
Trainings:
Trainings were hard, car was new, last offroad race was in September, so everyting was like new for me. We went to the track with factory setup, and car was working almost fine. Only problem was that the back end was littlebit bumpy, we changed oils and springs of the back shocks and car was working fine.
Qulifiers:
3 qualifiers, 2 were counted. In the 1st qualifier, glowplug died, so I didn’t drive the first one. In the 2nd qual, there was a big mess, nobody didn’t know when the start was, so I came to pit at the 1st lap, and lost many seconds, bad luck. In the last qual, car and engine were working, no problems at all and I did 4th time of the day. So, overall 11th place after quals. That meant 6th starting place in the ½ final…
Finals:
Start of the ½ final. Race time: 15 minutes. There was a big hole at the end of the main straight, so I did mistake at the first lap… And I was at the last place, but after few minutes I was 3rd or something. Refueling stop was fast and it was last minute, I was 2nd, and then the engine died at the last lap. We don’t know why, it wasn’t a flameout, so last lap was very long but now I was lucky, got 6th place from that final, last place to get into the final So, 9th starting place in the A-main
Final length: 30 minutes. Start was hard, lots of crashing and I lost some places, I also did some mistakes at the beginning, so start was hard… But I found driving rythm and after some minutes I was 4th or 5th, some more minutes ( first pitstop was done) and I saw leader car, did overtake and I took the lead. I was faster than others, so all I needed to do was clean driving, that’s what I did and catched up 2nd place with lap. Some minutes before finish I did some mistakes again, but I had big lead, so, it wasn’t big problem
