A good start for Marc Rheinard into the carpet season as the German took the win at the Mon-Tech New York GP at the 360v2 RC raceway in New York (New Rochelle). On the technical high bite carpet racetrack, he qualified second on the grid behind super-fast US driver Sam Isaacs (Awesomatix), and right in front of Canadian top racer Keven Hebert (Xray).
In the single A-Main final, Marc was able to capitalize from a small mistake of Isaac after one minute to get into the lead. After that, Keven Hebert was on Rheinard`s tail for the next 4 minutes but Marc was able to stand his ground and taking the win at the fourth annual New York GP. Keven Hebert (2nd) and Sam Isaacs (3rd) completed the podium.
Marc posted on his social media:
What a race… unfortunately Sam hit the curb and I could get by with Keven right behind me. Keven was on my tail for almost all 5min, but I could stay in front and took the win! Now it’s time for a few days of sightseeing in New York before heading back to Germany!
