Austrian 1:10 Off-Road Nationals – Round One

The first round of the Austrian 1:10 off-road nationals was held last weekend in Simmering, Vienna. The track was home to the 2003 Austrian European Championships – a large and slippery dirt track. Hupo took his DEX210 Prototype to a comprehensive victory. “I took my DEX210 Prototype straight from the EOS race in Sweden, just mounted the controlled tyres, and threw it on the track – the car felt great from the beginning.” Hupo took all four qualifiers to secure overall TQ and set about the finals in the same manner – taking both opening legs of the A final to take the win.
Hupo took three out of the four qualifiers in the 4WD class with his DEX410 for the TQ position and pole for the finals. An amazing series of finals saw battles with fellow Team Durango star Martin Kriel for the lead. Hupo needed to take the last leg of the A final to take the win and led by nearly five seconds until a bearing failure cost him the win. Team Durango DEX410’s finished second, third and fourth.
