Winterjumps 2012-2013 - Finnish Indoor Electric Off-Road Series (Videos)

[AiR]

It's not a good idea to race outside during the winter in Finland. That's why we have growing amount of indoor facilities for on-road and off-road racing.

Our Indoor Electric Off-Road Series is called Winterjumps and it's been now running atleast 6 seasons. The series has kind of national indoor championships series reputation, but with slacker rules.

Our control tyre is Schumacher Mini Pin or Mini Spike depending on the surface. Fortunately this season it seems like our races will be raced mainly on concrete floors which gives us outdoor like conditions.

Six races will be held and best of 4 results are counted in final standings.
Venues on the season 2012-2013:
1. Tikkurila
2. Nokia
3. Turku
4. Kuopio
5. Jyväskylä
6. Helsinki

Team finRC (www.finRC.com) has been recording videos of most of the A mains. I would like to share our videos with you.

Separate posts of races will follow...

Fourth event was held in february at Kuopio. Although few fastest guys was absent from this event, we had good racing on this pretty tight but surprisingly fast track.

Here's one a main for example:

Next race will be run at Jyvaskyla in the of march, 2013.

Fifth and second to last event was held in the end of march at Jyvaskyla. This track is my home track and I had some high expectations what comes to racing for TQ and win in 4wd class. Also 2wd class was run.

Here is second 4WD A-final where I'm driving dark red DEX410 vs TQ guy Markku Honkanen in Pink DEX410. Second in the grid is ETS racer Viljami Kutvonen with his DEX410. It seems Durango is pretty popular with the fastest drivers in Finland at the moment.
