After a one year break, Poland is back on the Euro Offroad Series calendar hosting Round 2 this weekend and ATA’s Niko Triandafilidis has again come up trumps with securing an exciting new venue at which to showcase RC racing.  Having hosted the season opener for three consecutive seasons as part of the Hobby & Gaming Show in Poznan, Niko has again been able to get the EOS run as part of Warsaw Moto Show at the impressive Ptak Warsaw Expo in the capital city.  The biggest Exhibition and Congress Centre in Central Europe, it is located just 10-minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from Warsaw city centre and it is hoped that that this is the first of a long run visit for the EOS to the show, it being one of three races on the Season #6 calendar that showcase the hobby in front of a public audience. Attracting 250 plus entries, the weekend will not just showcase some the best RC racers in the World to the expected 15,000 show visitors but it will also give Poland’s next generation of RC racers the chance to be part of their first international RC event.  All racing Tamiya Fighter buggies, these 4 to 11-year-olds will race just after lunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Located in one of Ptak Warsaw Expo’s six halls that provide a total exhibition space of 143,000 square meters, the track covers an area of 30m x 20m.  A home race for Warsaw resident and EOS front runner Michal Orowski, the Schumacher driver summed up the track as ‘pretty difficult’.  Describing the quad section which most drivers can triple as ‘really nice’, he added a good landing into the following corner was key to a good lap.  Also liking the track’s wall feature, he said the corner table top leading onto the straight was important to get right in terms of carrying speed onto the straight.  Reigning 4WD Champion and Round 1 winner Bruno Coelho was also positive about the track layout, describing it as ‘super technical’ but adding ‘I like it a lot’.
