Last weekend, the MKGP took place in Milton Keynes (Great Britain), and attracted 200 racers in 2WD, and 150 in the 4WD class. It was the weekend of Schumacher`s Michal Orlowski who took two TQ`s and both overall victories in front of Xray`s world champion Bruno Coelho who finished second in both divisions. Tommy Hall (Team Associated) took third place in 2WD, and his teammate Jonas Kaerup finished third on the podium in 4WD.
Read what Michal Orlowski wrote about his weekend on his social media:
What a fabulous weekend at MKGP 2023 in Milton Keynes, UK. I was able to take the double TQ&WIN at the most competitive offroad race in Europe in a very long time.

This was the first time for all of us racing on this type of carpet and it started out with extremely low grip, we all changed our cars to suit the low grip conditions, but round by round in 2WD qualifying the grip was coming up and we had to slowly change back our cars for the high grip conditions each run. I was able to top seed, TQ and win the 2WD portion of the event.
We moved onto 4WD. It started off quite tough, as I broke my car in the first seeding practice but after that, I was able to top seed again, TQ 5/5 qualifiers and take the win in A1 and A2.
My Schumacher R/C Racing cars equipped with Hobbywing Technology/ Sunpadow RC, Power HD, Whitz Racing Products and MR33 Racing were absolutely brilliant on this difficult track with unique traction.
I had great fights on the track with Bruno Coelho RC Driver, it was fantastic to finally race again in offroad on carpet for the first time in a few years and I had a brilliant race with Marcus Kærup RC Driver until the end in A1 and A2 of 4WD.
Big thank you to the whole #SchumacherFamily, we have such a brilliant team and we work so well together. Special thanks to Tris, Muz and Robin and to the guys that helped me this weekend marshaling or mounting tyres, you are the best!
