Orlowski is European Champion

11 August 2015

Schumacher's 13 year old star Michal Orlowski has been crowned EFRA European 4WD Off Road Champion! 

After taking an awesome TQ ahead of some of the worlds best drivers Michal took his first international title after an epic battle with Neil Cragg and Jorn Neumann in the 3 legged mains.  Needing to win in the last leg to secure victory Michal opened up a small gap at the start of the race but was put under immense pressure from Neil until the last but one lap when Neil made a small mistake allowing some breathing space.  Michal crossed the line to become 4WD Off Road European Champion 2015.

Not only did Michal take an excellent victory Joseph Quagraine and Peter Pinisch backed it up with their CAT K1 Aero's with a 7th and 8th place respectively.
