In 1/8E qualifications, TOP 3 was super close. Jiri Mara took TQ in Q1, while Martin Bayer dominated Q2, but then my XB8E TQed 3rd and 4th round to take the overall TQ ahead of Jiri and Martin!
In 1/8IC, again same 3 drivers fought for the overall TQ, with me taking TQ in Q1 and Q3, with Martin overall 2nd and Jiri Mara 3rd!

| 1/8E finals had to be great show to watch in my opinion as in all three A-mains, both Martin and me got quickly away from the rest of the field and fought whole 10 minutes for the win! Martin took the close win in A1, while I took A2, so A3 was going to decide the winner − it was another great race, but with 2 minutes to go I made two mistakes and Martin won, congrats! Another battle was for the 3rd place between Max Gotzl, Milan Mudra and Jiri Mara and in the end it was Max who came out fastest and finished 3rd overall! |

In 1/8IC, Martin put a flawless run in his semifinal and gained pole position for the main final ahead of me and Frantisek Kalenda.
In the final, Martin managed to pull away quickly, while I made few mistakes in the beginning which dropped me down the field. However then I managed to get back to 2nd place, but Martin was already one lap ahead. Few laps after I got 2nd, Jiri Mara faced tech. issues and had to retire. With 5 minutes to go, Martin faced tech. issue and I took the lead, but Martin got quickly back on track and finished overall 2nd! Milan Mudra was driving 3rd, but also with about 5 minutes to go his transponder stopped working (for a few laps and then worked again) and Max got to 3rd place! Crazy final!!!
