Davide Ongaro wins One Race One Man event Posted: 08 Jan 2018 12:52 AM PST The famous IBR Padova indoor off-road facility in Italy played host to the inaugural One Race One Man event this past weekend. The race attracted some of the fastest 1/8th off-road racers of the country as well as guests from abroad and it was Italy’s Davide Ongaro (Team Associated) who laid down some impressive runs in qualifying to take the overall TQ. However after the semi finals it was Kyosho’s Riccardo Berton with the pole position for the 45-minute A-main. At the start of the main event, Mugen’s Robert Batlle was able to get into the lead but a mistake some minutes into the race meant he would drop down the order, making way for Riccardo who was challenged by Davide Ongaro, Elliott Booth, Robert Batlle and Marco Baruffolo later in the race. In the final stages Davide was able to get close to Riccardo but it looked like Berton would be able to bring home the win only to run out of fuel in the very last lap, promoting Davide Ongaro into the lead who would bring home the win from Riccardo Berton 2nd and new Xray signing Marco Baruffolo 3rd.
