Efra 1/8th Electric Buggy Finals Report and video

3 for David in 3!
David Ronnefalk claimed his 3rd European Championship in Spain today adding the 1/8th Electric Buggy championship to his two Nitro buggy wins in 2013 and 2015.
It wasn’t all plane sailing as despite starting from pole he was pushed hard in every leg by Juan Carlos Canas of Spain and Portugal’s supremely versatile Bruno Coelho. Leg one saw a textbook lights to flag victory for the Swede as he led home Canas and Coelho but this all changed in Leg two when a couple of bad landings at the final corner saw Ronnefalk down to 3rd and Canas leading with style. David managed to get past Bruno but couldn’t catch the young Spaniard so it would go to a final leg.
The Final race saw Ronnefalk take off in the lead but behind him a battle royal took place between Canas and Coelho as they swapped positions on many occasions unfortunately this also had the effect of allowing David to get away and run with less pressure to stroke it home for the win.
