Warm up in the East
After a successful shift in Eastern Europe in 2007 for the "West vs East" Edition, we have decided to split the event in an "East Edition" which will be followed by a "West Edition" also known as the "main event" in June.
For this 2008 East event, after Poland, we are now in Hungary, another military airport, 1500meters long by 80meters wide but this time an incredible quality surface! Sometimes numbers speak better than words, check below the strip records (without any track prep) :
Best time with Jetcar: Gerd Habermann: 7.143 sec / 377km/h
Best street legal 4WD: Gregorz Stasewski: 8.884sec / 266km/h
Best street legal RWD: Morten Carlsen: 9.647sec / 239km/h
Best street legal FWD: Sándor Vogelsinger: 11.048sec / 217km/h
Don't miss the first event of the new King of Europe "mini-series", the overall winner of this King of Europe "East" will fight in June against the "West Event" overall winner to elect the new "King of Europe".
After Ian Hook, Nigel Parkin and Marcin Blauth who will be the next ? First part of the answer will be in Tokol in April...
