The last German qualification of the middle part was held in Ettlingen on June 30-July 1. Team XRAY was represented by many local and fast XRAY drivers as well as by top electric drivers Dirk Wischnewski and Martin Hudy. XRAY distributor Bertram Kesler from SMI – along with his family – was at the track the entire time to provide technical help and car support.

The race started on Saturday with free practice and continued with racing on Sunday. The practice was ruled by XRAY as Martin was the fastest on the track ahead of Dirk. The other XRAY drivers were also really fast and all of them were very happy with their cars’ performance. After a nice dinner together, Team XRAY was ready for the Sunday race.

The race started at 8:30AM with three rounds of qualifiers and continued with the finals. Dirk and Martin were unlucky in the first qualifier because Dirk had engine problems and Martin was sent off the track by another driver. The first qualifier was won by Stefan Hanauer and it was the best advantage for him because at that time the track was fastest. However, Dirk was super fast in the second round and set TQ. Martin finished second, suffering from engine power shortage; not working as well as on the day before because the weather was much colder. Although he finished second also in the last qualifier he finished overall third by 0.2sec behind Stefan Hanauer.

The semi-finals were good for XRAY because of the six drivers who bumped up to the final, five were XRAY.
The rain started five minutes before the final, and so the drivers elected not drive and take the results from the qualifiers.
Although our team was disappointed that the rain started, everyone was happy with the cars’ performances and the nice weekend.
