Marc de Zwart from Austria was the big surprise in 1:8 electric buggies modified class, not many saw this coming but himself. De Zwart took the early lead with a blistering start, taking advantage of a poor opening lap of fresh VRC World Champion in SC Trucks open class and official Associated team driver Tom Rinderknecht. It took the young American driver just 1 lap to claim back 2nd position from Warren Jones and from then on it was RACE ON. The 8 minute final was one of the closest battles we've seen so far during this Worlds. De Zwart kept his cool, drving tighter lines than Rinderknecht and Jones, which gave him a deserved win at the end, although with the narrowest of margins: just 0.1 on Rinderknecht and 0.5 on Jones. A MUST WATCH video!
