Dear Friends,
Please read our short summary from last weekend’s race: I gave my HK-1 to my very talented young friend Barnabas Toth, and I was driving my K8 this weekend. I had problems with my engine all weekend long. On the qualifications I drove 1st and 2nd fastest time, but in the 1/2 final and final I had bad luck with engine. Here is a short summary from Barnabas: Last week we had the Timár László Memory Race in Austria. The location was the famouse Stöhr-Ring, that I have visited for the first time. It was my first nitro race ever, so I didn’t have big expectations, I only wanted to learn a lot about the the car, and get to the finish line in the finals. Saturday we had two qualifications, and I was able to secure the 2nd position on the grid. Untill the first pit stop I was following the leader 5 seconds ahead of the 3rd spot driver, but after the stop I had overheating problems, and could only finish 6th, 4 laps behind the race winner. Sunday we had 3 qualifications, but I had some issues with the fuel and the traffic, so I could only get 7th after the qualies. In the 1/2 finals I put in a safe run, so I could start 4th in the Final. After a lap, I found myself in the 2nd spot, and had a good fight with the race leader, but unfortunately after 15 minutes I ran out of fuel, and lost a lap to the leader. The pace was definitly promising, I put in the fastest lap of the whole weekend. In the end I got 3rd in the 30 minitues long final, and in the overall standings as well. It was a great weekend, and the KM H-K1 worked awesome all weekend long.

Below Race Report From Edu :
I´m sending you the report from the 1st Round of the Nitro Series Españolas (NSE),the new Series Championship in Spain based on the popular Euro Nitro Series racing format.
First Round of the Nitro Series Españolas took place in Villareal the past weekend,with fine weather and a very technichal layout.
I was able to TQ 4 rounds of qualifiyng out of 5 (I didn´t take part on 3rd round of Quali due to a Battery failure),getting TQ honours with 0 points,setting the Fastest Lap and a new Track Record.
We used the Qualifiyng point system for the first time,counting the best 3 Rounds.
My KM HK-1 worked perfect with the new Evo3 Parts,especially the new shock towers and new brake pad worked pretty well for me.
On Sunday Marco Colomo was able to take the win in the B-Main with his HK-1,founding himself after a hard weekend with the quite technichal track.
Also Raul Amella Sr. rounded out the podium in 3rd with his HK-1.
A-Main started pretty well for me,running away from the rest of the field.
At mid-race I was leading with a confortable margin,1 lap ahead of the 2nd position,but unfortunately my steering servo broke after 20 minutes of the main,wich forced me to retire of the race.
Anyway,pretty happy with my package this weekend!
Looking forward to the next races.
See you!

Below Race Report from Kristof :
This Weekend, the third run for the northgerman championship took place in Munster.
In the first Qualifying, I already could reach the TQ.
Also I could drive the fastest lap of the Weekend (15,9 Seconds),
this only was two tenths slower than the trackrecord (Made 2012 by Eric Dankel).
I used the following Qualifyings for trying out some other setups. In the finals,
I could extend the lead. Unfortunately, I made a driving mistake,
so I dropped back on the third place, after short time,
I could eke out the second place again. When the first-place leader also did a mistake,
I could extend the lead again. After half of the finals, I had problems with my engine,
which got more and more lean. So I just could hold the lead. During two pitstops,
my engine ran out, but thanks to my KM HK-1, which functioned perfect,
I could win this race with two laps in advance in spite of this precarious situations.

please read my short summary of my last weekend’s nationals.
Last weekend we had Hungarian Nitro Nationals on race track Stöhr-Ring (Austria).
It was also an international club race, with 63 racers from 3 countries.
Saturday we had a beautiful sunny practice day.
Sunday morning the weather was still good during the qualifications,
but for the 1/2 finals it started to rain. I was second on the grid for the final.
We started the final under wet conditions, so I put rubber tires on my car.
In the first few laps it was not going so good,
i was 3rd or 4th at my first pit stop more than 1 lap behind the leader.
I also got a stop and go penalty for crossing the white line out of the box.
Than the track started to dry slowly. I was trying to find the dry lines and brake points,
and i was able to drive 2-3 seconds faster laps than the other drivers.
Some of them had electrical problems because water. For me it was going so good,
that for my 3rd pit stop i was leading by 2 laps. After that i was saving my tires,
and just brought the car safely to the finish line.
Other KM driver Mate Toth finished 7th on his first 1/10 onroad nitro race ever!

Race report from Kristof :
This Weekend, the second run of the north german championship took place in Hildesheim. Again,
I arrived just on Sunday, for this reason, I had to use the Qualifying for working out and finding the fine tuning for my KM HK-1.
In the end, I reached the third starting position and I was content.
I could keep up this position for a long time and additionally could eke out the second place and kept it up until the ending.
Due to a car, which was not in accordance with the rules, the actual winner got disqualified and I gained the first place.
