The 2010 1/10th off road EFRA European Championships will be held in trakishen, Austria in August but as with most years there's the customary 'warmup' event – a chance for those drivers who're 'mad for it' to get some laps in before the real event.

The last time the European Championships visited Austria was back in 2006 and the same club, RMC Wien, is running this event – although the track has changed to a venue that was used way back in the late 90's – Traiskirchen, 20km south of Vienna. Apparently Vienna is actually called Wien, but W's are pronounced V's over here, so it's all very complex.

Heathrow airport eateries have crap knives shaped like toes.	Vienna airport doesn't have those nice tubes that go up to the plane to transport you in climate controlled comfort.

Traiskirchen city centre, very beautiful as you can see.	The track was juicy wet when we arrived.

Heathrow - sun! The last we'd see?	Vienna has some interesting fields.

We arrived in 'Wien' around 5:30pm on Thursday 13th May to the downpour of rain we'd been told to expect - initial impressions? Was this race going to even take place?!

We picked up the rental car - a nice VW polo, though only one bag would fit in the back, oof!

The hotel closest to the track is the 'Oekotel' - and it's very close indeed. For some reason they wouldn't take the BRCA booking for the main event in August - so the official hotel is elsewhere about 4km from the track. We can confirm it's got beds, but not much else - and dare thee not to stand outside and socialise at 10:30pm.

Navigating the roads away was pretty simple with some directions to Traiskirchen provided by the nice lady at airport information. After a brief stop at the 'Oekotel' hotel we ventured out to see if we could find any shops open - 7pm and everything was well and truly shut! Oh well - to the track it is then. By the time we got to the track (which is literally 30 second drive from the Oekotel) the rain had stopped but the track surface remained soggy wet. We retired to the hotel room with concerns about whether the race weekend would even go ahead.

Right: Disturbingly, someone had taken the time to remove the steering wheel and switch it over to the other side of the car; now even the gearstick and handbrake were on the wrong side.

May 14th 2010, GMT +1hr.

Friday marked the start of the Euros warm up event, although we're certain that many of the locals have been here all week, grafting in the rain in preparation for the weekend. The morning started with rain as was expected, and although this didn't progress further than a light drizzle, the track had remained wet from the previous days downpour and the first round of practice was cancelled. Conditions gradually improved throughout the morning and the track was opened at 10:18am for the start of practice round two; by lunchtime we were treated to about enough blue sky to make a short pair of sailors pants (perhaps underpants) and a touch of sunshine.

Practice round one was WET - but thankfully it got a lot better after that.

Some farmers were called in early in the day to alleviate the track drainage problems.	Drivers venturing off the racing line experienced conditions comparable to wrestling an oily pig in a mud bath. It was messy.

Rob-BBK-Nelson looks for a way out.

2WD was up first and would continue into Saturday. The practice rounds were scheduled to run until shortly after 2pm, with Qualifying round 1 due to start at 3pm. Rob Nelson from BBK timing in the UK has made the journey over to join in on the rainy fun, and would be taking charge of timekeeping for the weekend. The lap times produced throughout practice would determine the qualifying heats.

The track was hugely-wet during early running but gradually and despite occasional light rain the track dried more and more. Clearing the big table top was next to impossible during early practice but soon became the only way to go for the top drivers as grup levels came up and the power was able to be put down. This 'step-up' table top was great for some serious hang time and some drivers who'd been out drinking until the early hours decided to have their fun by back flipping the jump - Ben Jemison was a particular offender in this regard.

A warning about trying to foolishly take the double-double series in the middle of the track in anything other than the regulation double-double was issued during practice. Drivers were told by the EFRA rep not to be silly and to jump it normally! :)

Fun and laughter trackside as the cars get covered in filth and juice.

These guys gave it up as a bad job and walked off into the wilderness to find a stream in which they could wash their cars.

Qualifying Round 1.

Once practice was over we had a fairly good idea of racing attendance, and despite the grim forecast 70 drivers had booked in to race prior to qualifying commencing. The country representation was pretty impressive too, with drivers from 14 different countries making the trip over for a weekend of moist driving fun, including Austria(!), UK, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Belgium, and Greece.

The first round of qualifying commenced quite late in the day, kicking off at 3pm after completing 5 rounds of practice. Paul Bradby from the UK TQ'd the round with 12 laps in 5:14.18, proving that a good nights sleep isn't everything when it comes to racing performance. Austrians dominated the top 10 in round 1, with 5 drivers making an appearance, alongside Germany, UK and Sweden.

During the final practice round our concentration lapsed and it was identified that a trip to McDonalds had become necessary. The trip to Maccies was quite uneventful, however following our indulgance in some high calorie goodness it was decided that we'd go the scenic route back to the track. 'It must be this way'. One hour of male-macho-not-stopping-for-directions later and we finally landed in the familiar village of Traiskirchen. Still, the journey opened up an opportunity for some nice photos of the local area.

The fastest running bird available on the open market, what's not to love about Ostriches?	With neither the time nor available funds to stop at a casino, we took a photo of the sign instead.

Round two of qualifying kicked off at just after 4pm, and the previous rounds TQ man Paul Bradby was no-where to be seen, well, he turned up to race but only completed one lap. This round saw Swedish Pererik Nordman with his Kyosho RB5 take the fastest time, with Lee Martin just a fraction of a fraction of a second behind with the new Tamiya. Still, the temperatures were dropping and the track had slowed down significantly, by 10 seconds in fact, with just two drivers completing 12 laps in this round. Marc Rheinard and Viktor Wilck made it a Tamiya TRF driver 2-3-4 with their 3rd and 4th positions respectively - although only Lee Martin and Rheinard had the new Tamiya 2WD chassis whilst Viktor had to make do with the Associated B4, with some Tamiya stickers on it. When pressed on the matter, it became apparent that Viktor had in fact 'forgotten' to ask the factory for one of the new 2WD buggies to race, oops!

Round 3.

Lee Martin put in a stormer in round three, smashing Bradders' previous top time with a 12/ 5:12.99 and placing him at the top of the pile at the end of day 1, with three solid qualifying rounds under his belt. Bradby was second and also beat his best time and was just over half a second behind Lee. Local hero Peter Pinisch came in third but was a whole 7 seconds further back.

Day 2 - 2wd Finals & Start of 4WD practice.

Saturday officially commenced at 08:30 with the final round of qualifying. There were plenty of crashes and mistakes as the drivers gave it their all for glory. Lee Martin pulled off an impressive new fastest time to clinch overall TQ - the field was well spread out behind in the early morning chilll.

2WD FINALS

2WD A final leg 1
Marc Rheinard hit something called a 'bump' at the start of the A final - and consequently his rear shock tower flew off the car - Marc had decided he liked the pretty blue alloy screws and they'd look nice on his new Tamiya so he set about the job with enthusiasm. Unfortunately for Marc, he got the length of the screws wrong and felt silly but made us all laugh.

The top three cars however had a good start to the race, and were soon pulling away from their peers in start order. Schumacher driver Simon Moss had a good start, gaining a couple of places on the first lap but subsequently bumming out over the tabletop jump and landing on his lid in the gutter.

Lee Martin leads the train	Marc Rheinard made it 20ft before retiring with vanity-induced failure.

Bradby putting on some early pressure	Lee leads Paul Bradby over the big jump.

Lee Martin kept a firm hold of the lead, whilst Peter Pinisch hassled Paul Bradbys rear, pushing to find a way through. Viktor Wilck was out on his own in 4th position, whilst the rest of the drivers hung further back.

Bradders had a tumble coming over the jump leading up to the straight, so as Pinisch followed through Bradders was facing the wrong way and the two had a brief encounter, nudging Bradders once again into a spin however Pinisch came off good and was now heading down the straight whilst Bradders adjusted his position to face in the right direction, and was soon hurtling fast towards Pinisch's rear end. The order was now Lee Martin, Pinisch and Bradders, with Viktor Wilck still a touch further back in 4th place.

Lee, Bradders, Pinisch.

Half way into the race and Pinisch was now hot on Lees rear end, and Lee was feeling the pressure - coming down the straight he came too close to the track marking, boucing sideways across the corner and seeing Pinisch sneak past into 1st. After TQing the event with some awesomely fast times though, Lee wasn't going to let this one slip away, first he started with a couple of sideways attempts, but the car was too wide to fit through at this angle. Next was the over-jumping manouvre, but he just didn't quite get it right over the double-double. On the following lap Pinisch landed bad coming off the tabletop, but this still wasn't enough and Lee couldn't quite slide through. Next was the brute force option, but that would just be rude. Finally though the rear-end pressure proved enough for Pinisch and he hit the track marking coming up towards the double-double, rolling his car but landing on the wheels. This error was enough for Lee to re-claim his number one position.

Pinisch noses down for the landing	Pinisch got out of shame - Lee looks for the inside.

OOF!!! Pinisch closes the door like an animal!	Lee pushed the austrian driver round but Pinisch keeps position and Lee FAILS.

The series of errors had given Bradders a chance to hammer down on the top two, and he was now hot on Pinisch's tail. Pinisch took the corner too tight right after the double-double, and ended up with Bradders nosing his sidepieces. Bradders wasn't put off by this though and was through to 2nd place. The top three raced the final lap in start order, with Lee taking the first leg win, followed by Bradders in second and Pinisch in 3rd.

The fight between Lee Martin and Peter Pinisch allowed Paul Bradby to get back in the hunt.	Finishing order - Lee leads Pinisch and Bradby to the line

2WD A final leg 2
The race started well for Lee Martin and Paul Bradby, who navigated the chicanes together and were preparing to pull off from their Euro-rivals, when Bradders made a schoolboy error as he mounted the double-double, which resulting in him driving the wrong way down the on-ramp into the on-coming traffic. The ensuing collision didn't cause too much chaos however and in fact nudged Bradders to face the right direction, but now he was down from 2nd on the grid into last place. This race would need some commitment. Meanwhile Lee was up at the front, flying away from the rest of the field, a reasonable gap between him and 2nd place Pinisch, and again a further gap back to Rheinard(?) in 3rd place.

Lee built up a big lead right away

Just a minute and a half in though and Bradders was back, seeing his way through into 3rd place when Martin Kreil lost his grip on a tight corner and slipped around wide. The order was now Lee Martin, Peter Pinisch, Paul Bradby, Martin Kreil and Viktor Wilck. Everyone else was further back.

With two and a half minutes left to race, Lee was way ahead, with Peter Pinisch too far back to be pressing any buttons, and Bradders still hammering down to catch the top two.

The next few laps were relatively uneventful with little to report from at the front of the field. Towards the end, just to add a little excitement, Rheinard and Pererik made contact at the end of the straight, sending Rheinard off the racing line, and Pererik spun around and started driving towards the straight... wrong way! As leader Lee Martin was oncoming at full pelt. Fortunately Lee was unaffected, missing Pererik very narrowly but continuing to race the final lap cleanly to take the 2nd leg and overall win.

A lot was at stake

2WD A final leg 1
Lee sat out the final leg of the a-final, we thought this was very sporting of him until we discovered he'd actually broken his car during the warmup lap and decided to watch and laugh instead. This gave Bradders the lead position on the grid, however he didn't hold onto it for long as Peter Pinisch soon hassled his way past, and Viktor Wilck kept close behind with a very keen Mark Rehinard nuzzling at his tail. Rheinard was soon past Wilck and preparing to pressure Bradders. Kreil was now up to 4th. So one minute in and the race order was Pinisch, Bradders, Rheinard, Kreil, Wilck.

The top three cars had a reasonable lead on their peers, however each had a small gap between them, the racing could have been closer. Wilck kept close to Kreil, and like a couple of young lovers on a first date he waited patiently for an opportune moment to make his move.

Nearly two minutes into the race and Pinisch clipped the track marker coming onto the straight, Bradders moved closer but this error was not enough for him to re-claim the lead.

At half race distance Bradders realised everyones disappointment at the lack of excitement, so decided to make his move coming off the double-double, trying to undertake Pinisch as they navigated the dirt corner, the move did not pay off however as Bradders was nudged over the track marking and became stranded behind the jump. Rheinard was through, with Bradders marshalled and back on the track in 3rd place.

Three minutes into the race and the order was Pinisch, Rheinard and Bradders, with Wilck harassing Kreil for 4th place as they mounted the double-double side by side. The pair rendezvoused mid-air and both cars came tumbling down, Wilck came off worse as he landed on his lid, and Kreil duly waited until Wilck had been marshalled and drove past.

By now up at the front, Rheinard was hammering down hard on Pinisch, challenging him for the lead, and throttled hard coming down the straight in an attempt to make a clean pass, the move was not successful however and Rheinard ended up in the dirt whilst Pinisch continued in the lead.

OOF Bradders through!	OMG, Rheinard limbo rides under as Bradders performs stunts.

Rheinard maintained 2nd place however Bradders was now onto him, and attempted to over-jump on the tabletop, narrowly missing jumping into 2nd place. Rheinard, pressured by the chase, drove himself into a track marker and this was all that Bradders needed to get back into 2nd place. Bradders now had the leader in his sights and was homing in on Pinisch, but Rheinard kept close behind. Perhaps it was the rear end pressure, or the eagerness to catch up to the lead, but Bradders caved in and made an error over the single jump approaching the straight, flipping onto his lid before returning to his wheels, but not before Rheinard and Wilck moved through. Now it was Wilck in 2nd and Rheinard in 3rd, with Bradders still chasing hard in 4th place.

Rheinard landed badly off the tabletop jump and Bradders was now in 3rd place, but another crash from Bradders coming onto the straight saw Rheinard promoted again.

69 drivers later, these guys cheered with true enthusiasm - 20 minutes to go guys!

Lee receives his TQ trophy

It's hard to stay ahead of the game - the competition gets ever younger.

TRF hero - Lee Martin takes another impressive win.

4wd Practice kicked off mid afternoon a little while after the excitement of 2WD trophy presentation had died down. 5 rounds of practice would be run with a 6th on Sunday morning before qualifying and finals.

In round 1. Mark Rheinard TP'd (Top Practiced! giggle) . Lee Martin had the quickest lap however.

Peter Wirthner stepped in to save the day when Jimmys shaft experienced a failure. A bit of careful attention and a drop of glue later and it was soon as tough as nuts, cheers dude :)

Rain didn't stop coming down for the final two rounds of practice on Saturday and by the mid point of round five things were getting very bad indeed. The track had become exceptionally greasy and even with 4WD the cars were struggling to negotiate some of the easier parts of the track such as the straight!

The final heat of practice saw just two lone heroes come out to play - Simon Moss from the UK and Otto Ausfelt from Sweden, the rest of the top lads being too scared or too wise to venture out in the worsening and bitterly cold conditions. We took some photos so you didn't have to be out there in that hell - please show your appreciation by cleaning my car tomorrow.

Moss wrecks his car in the mud and rain	Otto and Moss, a lonely duo hungry for track time, like two piglets suckling on the teat of racing glory.

The rain that started to come down hard at the end of day 2's 4WD practice rounds didn't stop - in fact, it got worse! Over night rain had made the track a muddle puddle-riddled mess and virtually impossible to stand on. Not quite the 8 inches under water that Nathan Ralls had mentioned, but still pretty moist! The Durango Jacket Vicky reviewed earlier in the report stood up well to the horrific conditions we can report.

The combined weather with imminent ash-cloud-nonsense meant that some drivers had already headed off home rather than await the official word that the meeting was cancelled - which it was around 11am. A big shame but the weather forecast had always thrown the final day at least into some doubt.

Big thanks to the organisers for putting on a nice meeting and we're sure the European Championships in August won't fall foul of the same weather. Now......... how do we get home!

Big photo galleries to follow.
