Race report by Oliver Wahl
The 2012 German Championships where recently held on the 4th and 5th of August in Singen in southern Germany.

In the highly competitive Stock class, some of the fastest drivers from this southern region (Tobias Vogel and Valentin Hettrich) were expected to contend for this prestigious championship with the best from Germany and the surrounding areas.

Both drivers had been driving on a very high level for a long time now, however, the big win at a major event had always eluded them.

To overcome this pattern both drivers made the trip down to the track on Thursday, with the professional support of Andreas Myrberg, to practice and work on refining their setups for the small and slightly bumpy track.

In the Modified Class, the Team XRAY Germany was represented by David Ehrbar, Marco Kaufmann, Tim Wahl and Markus Wegmann.

In the Hobby Class, Clemens Neubert, Maximillian Minges and Bernd Boppenmaier drove the T3 chassis.

The qualifying rounds went perfectly for Tobias and Valentin. They put their XRAY T3’2012 on the TQ and runner up spot, positioning them ideally for the finals.

After a 2nd place in the first final and an easy victory in the 2nd final, Tobias was able to cruise in the 2nd spot in the last final to secure the overall victory and his first major title, German Champion.

In the modified finals, Marco Kaufmann demonstrated that he had the pace to fight with the leaders by posting a third place finish in the 2nd final. Tim Wahl managed to get into the A-main on a track which normally does not suit him.

The best Xray result in modified was the local racer, Markus Wegmann who finished with a very strong 5th place result in an ultra-competitive field.

Big thanks go to Andreas Myrberg, who helped the XRAY drivers with support.

It was a great Nats for the XRAY team in Singen. 1 title and the most used car during the event as a whole.
