Race report from Germany:
6th Round Baden-Württemberg Cup
The penultimate round of the popular "Baden-Württemberg" Cup in South Germany was held in Laupheim. The host club presented a challenging track with a lot of obstacles and jumps. So track time was crucial for the 70 entries in the buggy class and 50 entries in the truggy class. Saturday started off nicely with a dusty track and practice in heat order. However right before the start of qualifying the rains came which meant the rest of the day had to be canceled. Welcome to racing in Germany ... As the forecast promised sun for Sunday there was still a chance for a great weekend of racing. Sunday morning and the first of two qualifiers went to Hannes Käufler in the buggy class, followed by Jan Dalgaard Hansen from Denmark. Ralf Dennenmoser likewise continued his domination in the truggy category.
Max Stölzle was sitting second in both classes with two great drives! The finals went underway late and Hannes Käufler took a convincing victory with a 30 second gap over teammate Pascal Sass who found a great rythm and earned a stellar second place finish.
The truggy battle was between Ralf and Max, which developed late in the race due to a horrible start by Ralf. Ralf put on the pressure however it was Max who held his nerves and finished on the top spot!
All in all it was a satisfying Sunday for a disappointing Saturday!
