EOS Poznan

[Oscar]

Well it might not be a full scale oOple attack on the world of Eurotrash reporting, but a couple of us guys are currently out in the bland open space known as foreign land. I am of course referring to the super well run Euro Off Road Series or EOS for short. Jimmy considered being here to take awesome photo’s and write cool stuff, but he was sadly denied the option as the UK border agency refused to renew his recently expired passport because the application had the attached a photo of the PG tips monkey. Apparently an appeal has been lodged, stating that the monkey has dyed red hair dye and ever so slightly soiled shorts, therefore is surely close enough??



Round 1 of the series kicks off in Poznan, as part of Poland’s largest toy and hobby fair. Friday is practice day which is followed by the 2wd cars on Saturday and 4wd bringing the event to a close on Sunday. The field was made up of multiple World, European and national champions respectively. Me and Neal “superhero, please sign my set up sheet” Lewis were in attendance too, qualifying somewhere just behind the local event cleaners.


Of note, Per Erikson was sporting the best boob job of the event in support of a local breast cancer charity. Pictured you can see Per having his man boobs checked by the Danish Prime Minister, we understand he was given the all clear as they literally found nothing!.



Per was not only happy at promoting charity, but he also ecstatic that he’d TQ’d unofficial untimed practice for the 3 wheel large scale buggy class.


Being in Poland, there is a wealth of talent amongst the younger drivers, but we did notice local hero Michal Orlowski looking seriously worried about the upcoming young talent.


Tom Cockerill is here both to promote the Schumacher brand in Europe and also to prove he can cut it as a pro racer with the world’s best. We discovered that Tom has a well formulated plan for success, simply run as many wheels and tyres as possible. Tom arrived in Poland a week before the event and has been gluing tyres ever since. Apparently, more rubber = more speed!!


We will try bring you all the latest gems of news direct from the coal face as the weekend progresses, however guarantees of the above are worth slightly less than Cateram F1 shares
