Bayer wins A1 of 4WD Buggy

In somewhat of a repeat of the happenings of the opening leg of 2WD Buggy earlier in the day, a late mistake by the Top Qualifier handed victory to the No.2 qualifier. Starting from pole position, defending Champion Joern Neumann looked like he had done enough to build up an advantage that would see off Team Xray’s Martin Bayer but with four laps to go the German put his Durango on its roof.  This allowed European Champion Bayer to slip by as marshals attend the DEX410. A moment by Bayer in the same section of track on the next lap when his XB4 got up on two wheels allowed Neumann to close the gap and with the Czech driver in his sights he started to close him down.  Setting the fastest lap of the race on the penultimate lap it looked like it was only a matter of time before he would find away passed but on the last lap in an almost identical mistake to his earlier roll he put the Durango on its roof again just three corners from the finishing loop.  Bayer took the win with Neumann recovering to finish 2.6 second behind him in second with young Danish talent Jesper Rasmussen  completing the Top 3 with his Associated.
