The first ever IFMAR 1:8 Electric Buggy Worlds are now behind us om

Post by Joona Haatanen 2d ago
The first ever IFMAR 1:8 Electric Buggy Worlds are now behind us – and I finished P19 overall.

It’s been an exhausting week, and I can’t hide a bit of a sore feeling about the result. Team Associated RC8B4.1e was working awesome in all the changing conditions, but I just never seemed to find the right groove on this track. I had a couple of really solid qualifying runs, even breaking into the top 10, but a DNF in the final round of qualifying dropped me out of the fight for the A-main.

In the B-main I had three great legs, battling with some of the best drivers in the World.

The absolute highlight of the week was seeing Marcus take the win and become World Champion!! 🤩 #34 I’m super proud of him, and it was so cool to experience the whole journey by his side. Of course, I hope one day it will be me standing on top – but this time it felt almost as close as it gets without doing it myself. Huge congratulations Marcus ❤️

Big thank you to Brent, Nuno, EMR and the whole team for all the support throughout the week, and to Hotrace Tyres Factory Nicola for providing the best tires out there! Also huge congrats for Michal and Davidefor rounding out the podium.

We keep fighting.
