Recently, the Kuwait National Championship were held. The weather was dusty during the whole week leading up to the race which made it difficult to practice. We were able to get a practice session 2 days earlier, and the NT1 performed as excellent as always.

When we started on Friday we were still experiencing dusty weather, but it didn't seem to have a huge effect on the performance of the car. I compensated by using a softer shore of tire. During the qualifiers, I made sure to tune my car to get to the 5 minute fuel mark, and in doing so scored the best time and secured the TQ position going into the finals. The semi A went smooth and I finished in 1st position giving me the 1st grid start for the Final.
The final had a clean start and I was able to pull ahead of the field establishing a 1/2 lap gap for 2/3 of the race time until I got hit forcing me to pit to fix my body. I left the pit in 3rd position after the repair with 10 minutes left in the race. I managed to regain the lead in the last lap and finished in 1st position. The car felt great right from the beginning to the end of the race.
