Aigoin and Bayer Finish 2nd and 3rd at 2009 Euros



The Losi team performed very well at the 2009 EFRA 1/8th Off-Road European Championships in Wolbing, Austria. All of the Losi drivers competing at the event had a chance to attend the warm-up event, so the previous track time and knowledge was helpful towards their success.

Losi drivers Yannick Aigoin, Martin Bayer, Darren Bloomfield, Riccardo Rabitti and Jorn Neuman all competed at the event with their Team Losi Racing 8IGHT 2.0 Buggy Race Rollers. Yannick, Martin, Darren and Riccardo all qualified to compete in the grueling 45 minute final. The general layout of the track included some challenging sections and proved to be very demanding on both the vehicles and drivers.

Yannick competed furiously with his competition for the entire final and finished the event in second place, and only a few seconds behind the driver in first. Martin’s consistent driving throughout the final allowed him to finish in third place. Darren finished the event in seventh and Riccardo finished in twelfth.

Congratulations to Yannick, Martin, Darren, Riccardo and Jorn for their excellent performance and outstanding teamwork!
