VRC Pro ace David Ronnefalk from Sweden has won his 2nd European title in 1:8 nitro buggies during the EFRA Euros in Sand Germany. After a difficult start he had to work his way to the front and from then on dominated the race controlling his lead until the finish flag dropped. David is using the Kyosho buggy powered by the Orion engine and fueled by Runnertime, the 2014 Season 2 sponsor for the VRC Pro nitro on-road events! Austrian Martin Wollanka, the 2013 VRC Pro World Champion in 1:8 nitro buggies and 1:12 electric sportscars, finished in the same lap as David with his FX powered Xray buggy.
David’s victory doesn’t come as a surprise as he is rated one of the world best racers in all off-road classes. David picked up on VRC Pro in 2012 after we introduced the short course trucks and later the nitro buggies. He has raced and won several major VRC Pro events in the past. Of course his incredible busy racing schedule makes it difficult for him to be racing VRC Pro during the season. Runner up Martin Wollanka, a Team Xray works driver, is competing in VRC Pro almost on a daily basis, in on- and off-road classes. Martin somehow manages to combine this with his real racing activities and shows that you can be successful in both the real and the virtual world at the same time. Martin virtual racing (he has raced over 33.000 virtual km’s in VRC Pro to date…) has certainly contributed to his unexpected success at the Euro’s. Visit his homepage at VRC World to check out his massive achievements in VRC Pro.
Congratulations to both David and Martin, living proof of what virtual rc racing can do for your real racing!
