Bittydesign have introduced the most eagerly anticipated version of their Vision buggy body shell, that for the newly released Kyosho MP10e. The lid’s design will offer an easier to drive and more balanced feeling thanks to a mid-advanced cab, side pod and rear side flaps shape that optimises the aerodynamic characteristics. In addition a flap behind the engine area guides the air towards the rear wing for a smoother and more directed airflow around the shock tower and lower wing mount. The pre-cut body is moulded from high-quality 1mm Lexan polycarbonate, it comes with window masks, overspray protective film and a decal sheet.

The Norwegian Cup race was held this past weekend at the upgraded facility in Lørenskog. This was a 2 day event with 3 qualifiers on Saturday and 3 mains on Sunday, so there was plenty of time to wrench and just enjoy a nice weekend with fellow racers. In the mod touring class Olav Dahle ended up taking the TQ honours ahead of Nikko Haheim and Helge Johannessen in 3rd. In A1 Nikko put Olav under immense pressure from the very beginning and after a few laps he opened a gap Nikko was trough. From there he could bring the car to the line some 6 seconds ahead of Mathias Nedrebo who came in 2nd, followed by Oyvind Stusdal. In A2 Haheim made a better start and managed to out drag Olav down the main straight and take the lead. From there he could control the gap back to Helge who came in 2nd, the result enough to secure the overall race win, and with it the Norwegian Cup title. With Nikko sitting out A3 Helge would go on to win the last main securing 2nd for the race with Mathias Nedrebo able to claim 3rd overall.

The 2nd round of the 2020 Euro Offroad Series was held last weekend at the Arena33’s new astro track in Andernach, Germany. With a massive gap between this and the opening round back in February, for a lot of drivers this was their first major event back racing after the Covid-19 lockdowns. In 2wd, Bruno Coelho mastered the tricky conditions to take the TQ spot for Xray, ahead of Jorn Neumann with his Schumacher in 2nd. An impressive run by Czech Xray driver Max Gotzl saw him line up in 3rd ahead of Marcel Schneider, Martin Bayer, Hupo Honigl and round 1 winner Michal Orlowski in 7th, the Polish driver feeling under the weather all weekend. At the end of the mains it would be Jorn Neumann, with wins in A2 and A3, that took the overall victory in front of Max Gotzl as Bruno Coelho who won A1 struggled in the remaining finals and could only manage 3rd overall.

In 4wd it was familiar at the top as Coelho once again topped qualifying with his XB4, just ahead of the Schumacher pairing of Jorn Neumann and Michal Orlowski with Martin Bayer and Hupo Honigl completing the top 5. In the finals, with Coelho and Neumann having a win each and Orlowski with two 2nd places, it all went down the last main. It all went quickly south for Coelho as an off on the opening lap saw him drop to last which left Michal and Jorn to battle it out for the overall win. Despite being pushed hard for the entire 5 minutes Neumann would hold on to take the win and again secure the class win with Orlowski having to settle for 3rd overall, while Coelho’s A1 and 2 results enough to secure him the runner up spot.

Neumann would go on to do the triple as he also took the modified truck class with the new Schumacher Storm ST in front of Micha Widmaier in 2nd and Wesley van Helmond in 3rd.

In the stock classes, there was a win in 4wd for Simon Stegmeier, in front of Mick Burbach and Tristam Neal. In 2wd the victory this time went to Tristam, ahead of Stegmeier and Burbach. Finally in the stock truck class Tristan Hackl wrapped up the win in 2 finals with Stefan Matas in 2nd and Philipp Marzinger 3rd.
