Matsukura gets it done in Q3

Qualifying for the 2WD Electric Buggy World Championship is hotting up in Finland with Naoto Matsukura becoming the third different driver in as many rounds to TQ a round. The Team Yokomo driver laid down the first and only 13-lap run to take maximum points for Q3 ahead of Associated’s Ryan Maifield and Losi’s Dustin Evans with Q2 pace setter Ryan Cavalieri fourth. Top qualifier in the opening round this morning Jared Tebo again failed to repeat that form setting only the 35th fastest time after a very untidy run.

Best of the European’s for the round, Austrian Peter Pinisch posted his most competitive run yet as he took his Associated to fifth ahead of American TLR driver Mike Truhe. 2005 World Champion Neil Cragg was next up in seventh being joined in the Top 10 by fellow Brits Lee Martin and Paul Bradby who recorded the 8th and 10th fastest times respectively.

Brian Kinwald

One of the Legends of electric Offroad racing in the ’90s, two time 2WD World Champion Brian Kimwald took his Associated to the ninth in Q3 which puts him provisionally on the grid for tomorrow’s all important A-Main.

After the recent ISTC World Championships in California, Red RC gets ready to switches from electric power to nitro power as well as travel to the other side of the World to bring you coverage of the 10th edition of the IFMAR 1:10 Nitro World Championship. With support from Maxima RC Racing Fuel, T-Work’s Asia, Rapicon Max Power RC Fuel, SMART-Workshop, and Infinity, we are excited to be returning to Huge RC Circuit in Bangkok, Thailand, the track of former ISTC World Champion Suirkan Chaidajsuriya hosting the WC for a second time.

With 2024 a year that we have already seen two historic World title hat tricks, will we see Infinity’s Tadahiko Sahashi become the first ever driver to defend their 1:10 Nitro title? Our coverage starts on November 19 (Tuesday) and runs through to Saturday’s title deciding 1-hour final. We looking forward to you following along as IFMAR crowns its final World Champion of 2024.
