Euro Offroad Series announced

[bbq]

From www.redrc.net

The organisers of the hugely popular Euro Touring Series will bring their successful concept off-road with the announcement that they are to create a ‘Euro Offroad Series’. Catering for 1:10 electric off-road classes, the EOS is the result of 12-months of lobbying by a number of top off-road racers to get ETS founders Uwe Rheinard and Scotty Ernst to bring the profile and fun element of their electric touring car series to 1:10 off-road, a category which is currently enjoying a strong resurgence in Europe.

The first race will be in Sweden Tomelilla 1-3 of April on a indoor track, 100% clay.

[Speedy Steve RRCi]

Awesome track used to love running on these sort of tracks when i was out in the states but as has been said more jumps! where i used to race had a quad that if you had the balls and the right line could just do it in one hit one guy even managed a backflip and landed it then we all went crazy motors and if you didnt do a flip at least once a heat then you were laughed at:thumbsup:

[Garry]

I cant see many UK drivers willing to travel abroad for every round of the series.

[Lee Martin]

Still can't book in, someone will need to do it for me, the websites pIssing me off. Lol

Cheers

Tires has not been decided yet ! It only states that "To be annoced"
But in the touring series "ETS" they use handout tires so if we are lucky it maybe
the case for this series to.
The entry fee is according to http://eos.redrc.net/rules/
50 Euro for first class / 80 Euro for both classes

No handouts for the Pilot in Sweden. As for the full series, they wish to discuss this with the drivers before deciding. Guess this will be a major tabletopic at the race.

I can't wait to finish last in this awesome race concept! :p

[wouter.z]

Same problem over here, i cant enter the EOS. Also i cant see the 40 etc driver that allready have.

Tried and tried and tried to make you guys come but noooooo;)

Was a great event and the track was a true challange but very nice to drive. Very slippery. Really hope to see more of guys at the next event and in Sweden. We got some talent here too apparently;)

How did it go with the car?
Watched myrcm but did not know what name u raced under

[West Ridge Racing]

Well, The car worked like crap in the beginning during training but The thing is I am only used to race 2wd cars and this was my first race in 4wd. So I had to learn that and the track was very very slippery. Got severeal advice from people how to get more grip in the rear so I made all of those adjustments but still more tail whipping than other cars. People adviced me to ad even more weight than The 100 grams I already had. That made The car worse than ever so I went the other way and took off 60g from the initial 100 and that worked wonders. The car suddenly behaved much much Better and I had one of The lightest 4wd buggys. By then my qualification was over and I placed my self with The very last crowd. A very rewarding weekend for me but I feel that My driving should improve à lot and that The car has got à lot of potetial. If I would of raced 2wd I should be much much higher in the ranking because I am not that bad of à driver;)
The lipo system and weight system got a lot of attention and worked prefect all weekend. No problem what so ever with cells poping out of The tray or O-rings snapping. Very saticfied.
RedRc took some snapshots;) And got to sell some shells too!

Hate to type on Iphone ha ha.
