Wow, that does look a very cool track. Do they not get so much rain over there in summer or something?

Superb - just needs some bright green astro or paint on the bits inside the track as parts of it look quite hard to define from the track itself.

Love it though, that jump section towards the end of the lap is cool as!

Yes we had a great trip to Finland eh John????? hahahaha

Are the next World's there????

Now thats what i call a track

Crazy stuff

Lol, that makes our indoor tracks look rubbish! I think they are very efficient with the space they have!

Hahaa! Found ya! I was wondering, why there was suddenly over 100 views on my Youtube-video.

That's my home track. It's made for 1:8 scale cars, but we race 1:10 scales on it too. :)

Looks awesome, wish I could have a go!

haha, yeah I'll be in Vaasa for that one as long as I still breath! :lol: Awesome place and great organisers.

Hello again!
We had our fourth and last race of the series last weekend.

After the finals we tried little bit jumping with one of our B4's. :D

Here is the video (Youtube, HQ)

Hello,
It's already indoor season here. I edited this video to document our current indoor track. The track isn't the longest one, but pretty technical, so I have heard. :p

B4 Fly By (Youtube, HQ)

Comments welcome!

As I have understood that you like to see tracks and racing from other countries too, I continue to spam my racing videos. :)

Last weekend we raced first race of our Winter Jumps series. The race was held on Nokia's indoor offroad track, which is almost 100% astroturf. In Finland we have followed UK's example and this season only allowed rear tyre is Schumacher's Min Pin (Yellow compound).

Here's link to playlist:

If I may recommend few rounds to watch, you should see 4WD A1- and A3-final. Good racing! :)

Oulu is 600 km to north from Helsinki so the place is pretty close to the arctic circle. Anyway weather wasn't that bad outside, only -10 C.

Track was built to school hall with innovative use of gym equipment. Local star driver Vesa Yli was racing in 4wd with Serpentine/Durango proto.
