Run from the 19th to the 22nd of November, the Offroad Meeting Arena will take place again this year in Italy, at the Arena of Cowboys Guest Ranch of Voghera, near Pavia. The annual indoor race, which was won last year by Hupo Honigl, once again has attracted some of Europe’s best off road racers, who are taking part in the buggy, truggy and brushless classes. Running alongside the ultra competitive racing format that sees the champions crowned on Sunday, the organisers have created a ‘Race of Champions’ race that is made up of the best 16 drivers in buggy, in F1 and F2 class, as well as the best 16 truggy drivers. On Saturday night they will go together in a race that sees the last placed racer eliminated every 5 minutes until the 4th placed driver is eliminated and the podium positions are taken. This, together with all the other racing and activities planned, will make this an event to remember and Red RC will be there to cover all the action Live from the track throughout the weekend.

O.S. Engines in Japan have announced their new truggy motor, the Max-25XZ. With the rules set for truggy racing, O.S. set out to make an extremely balanced, powerful and fuel efficient engine. The first thing was to reduce the capacity from .28 to .25 (4.09cc) which helped to make a more fuel efficient, lightweight engine with an improved centre of gravity. This short stroke engine claims a maximum power output of 3.1bhp at 33,000rpm and is supplied with a double adjustable carburetor to be able to fine tune the entire power range.
