Estonian Baja Challenge Race Report!

Fri, 27th June 2008

The Estonian HPI Baja Endurance Challenge has held on a brand new LaitseRallyPark race-track, completed just in time for the Challenge. It was the first ever race at that location and first ever laps on that track - no practise was allowed. Only one lap was tested with 1:8 truggy in order to estimate the minimum lap time for the timing system. Race was completely individual for racers. Everything had to be done by the driver: maintenance, refueling, emergency repairs. Race lasted two 3 hour sessions (from 11:00am to 02:00pm and 03:00pm to 06:00pm).

with one hour technical maintenance time-out in between. During this time racers had hardly time to rest and some were hand-fed on the drivers stand while driving. Luckily sponsor RedBull had provided enough energy drink to last the whole day and more. First half of the race weather held up and fastest times were just above 32 sec on the 200m track making the average speed ~22,5km/h. During the second half it started raining and made the track very muddy, slippery and bogging the engines. Victory truly went to the last car running with the rain (wet air-filters, mud washed through into the engines) being the main cause for the rest dropping out. Second place dropped out just 5 minutes before the 6h time limit. The amazing thing to everybody was that Bajas lasted more than 1:10 with one tank of fuel. EDIT #ED140050 3700mAh RX packs lasted the full 3h of continuous racing.
