Netherlands HPI Baja Cup Race Report!
We could not have asked for better weather this past Sunday when the first Baja cup, organized by RCFUN.nl In Blaricum the Netherlands, was held. A total of 40 Baja owners showed up at the starting line and besides their Baja’s everyone brought friends and family to come and support them.

Marshals had to sometimes jump high to avoid getting hit by the competing cars, a lot of Oohhs and Ahh’s from the supporting crowd and the drivers had the time of their lives at this first event.
Three ten minute qualifying rounds were driven in a total of 4 heats. There was one higher and one lower final to also make it able for the not so experienced drivers to at least be able to qualify themselves for a final. |
