It looked like Series leader Malinski had the race covered at Round 11 of Season 1 at NEO14, but as so often in off-road racing, you've got to stay out of trouble to make it to the finish line first. The whole 20 minute A-Main he battled with Austrian Martin Wollanka for the lead, and as he was hoping for a 1-stop fuel strategy he was looking to walk away with another win until the last 3 laps of this race. His fuel strategy didn't work out and a very late pitstop 30 seconds before the end dropped him back right on Wollanka's bumper. Tobias Isacson blew it right at the start and had to race all the way from the back of the field and managed to secure the 3rd podium place after a hard race with Fredrik Boden and Thomas Engman. Watch the video to see how this A-Main unwinded.

Spains David Barcena has scored a well deserved victory at the inaugural race at the new Psycho Nitro Blast VI track. Starting from position 5 he worked his way to the front quickly, also helped by a bad start of hot favoriteand series leader Marcin Malinski who found himself back in dead last position at the end of lap 1... Barcena and Honkanen battled it out for most part of the race, but Malinski fought back hard and managed to take the lead again, only to loose it as a result of a badly executed last fuel stop.

UK's Javan Candy, and avid 'gamer' racer has taken a great win at Silver Dollar 2 (2013 WC lay-out) over dominating and Series 1 leader Marcin Malinski. Matthew Stacey from Canada fought off a very well deserved 3rd over Frederik Boden from Sweden.
Malinski made a big error at the start of the race and repeated this 2x at about the same spot but managed to grab the lead over Candy after some 8 minutes of racing. It was then between Marcin and Javan almost till the end of the 20 minute race but a bad pitstop of Malinski handed the race to Candy. He well deserved win over an almost unbeatable Malinski! Make sure to watch the video to see the battle unfold.

Winning round 7 at Fear Farm, the 2014 VRC World champion Marcin Malinski is looking for an (almost) perfect season, now having won 6 of the first 7 races in Season 1. Frederik Boden from Sweden didn't let him run away with this victory, Boden challenged Malinski throughout the 20 minute A-Main, led the race for half of the laps and kind of gave it away to Malinski with just 2 corners to go... Watch the video to see how this thriller unfolded, one of the best races this season! Tobias Isakson charged hard at the early stage of the final but fell into the same trap several times which put him in 3rd at the end, 20 seconds behind the leaders.
In the Season 1 series Malinski now holds a comfortable lead over Boden, Hillman, Stacey and Candy. Can anyone stop the 2014 champ making this an (almost) clean sweep?
