Young Tom Rinderknecht from the USA has claimed his first VRC Worlds title winning the 1:10 Short Course trucks modified Open class final at Buggyland, Fuencarral Spain.
The official Team Associated Works driver dominated the 10 minute final from start to finish and despite a crash one lap before the end his victory was never really challended. Vili Hakala from Finland charged hard but everytime he came within striking distance he lost ground again by small mistakes. James Le Pavoux from the UK drove a steady race but was half a second slow on Rinderknecht. Ilari Lamminsivu from Finland put up a great challange for 3rd position but as so many others in this final, overdrove the car costing him valuable seconds. A great victory for the fastest and also most consistent racer Tom Rinderknecht.
