Martin Wollanka keeps adding World Chamionship titles to his crown, this time he reigned at the Messina Dirt track in Italy with the 1:10 SC trucks. It didn't come easy this time, the track lents itself for very close racing and that's exactly what happened. It was only at the last par of the race where he could create a 1 second gap with Hillman and Crowel.
Watch the video, exciting race with professional commentary by Mike Garrison.

SEASON 1 2017 RALLY X ROUND 3 Messina X
Third round of RallyX modified continued at MessinaX track. Earlier in here, spec class was raced and drivers had huge struggles with backstraight jump. Even race organizer got lot of complains about this issue, but in the end, it gave lot of exitement for the spec race.
At modified class, that particular jump didnt was no big deal, as drivers had more power to control that flight. Swedish offroader Robert Hillman showed magnificent skills and totally crushed others at main final. Because of very slippery behaviour, this modified RallyX class needs talented offroader hands, and Robert proved this, by hitting so consistent run and nobody couldnt answer that. When race ended, Robert was almost one lap ahead second place driver Carson Yeung. Italian Tommaso Andreuccetti got third place, 7 seconds behind Yeung.

Ok, all had some difficulties with big jump at backstraight and it was such a place that you had to be consistently precise and careful with that one, if you wanted to be at podium.
At qualifying round Huhtala was setting the pace to others and left second place driver Carson Yeung, 3.8 seconds behind. Third and fourth fastest was Sandro Cabreira and Robert Hillman.
Yeung, Cabreira and Hillman were all with very identical distance to the leader.
Huhtala was luckiest in PRO level
