Our team with our XRAY van and two experienced pitmen was there to support all XRAY drivers. Two XRAY drivers were successful and qualified into the main final.
Agrafiotis had some good qualification runs, but because of a marshaling penalty had to start from the 7th position.
After the start signal he immediately made it into 2nd place and after a few laps he took the lead and never looked back until the end of the race; he got no serious pressure from the rest of the contenders.

Thanos Makropoulos got the best lap time of the day, sharing his teammateâ™s winning set-up. He was not so lucky and due to a pitstop mistake he ended up in 6th place.
