The first round of the Middle Swedish Cup for electric touring cars and 1/12 scale cars was held at the brand new permanent carpet track of the Swedish XRAY distributor - Minicars. The track is fairly big compared to the old one, and allowed for some fast paced racing in all classes. The race saw some 70 entrants divided in three different classes.
In Modified, we saw a very close qualifying between myself and Niklas Johansson, battling it out for the TQ position. In the end I managed to snatch the TQ spot with only a few hundreds. Magnus Vässmar and Niclas Nilsson qualified 3rd and 4th with their T4'14 cars. In the finals, I managed to win the first two finals with ease. The others would battle it out for the remaining podium spots. Niklas Johansson drove a flawless A3 to take the runner-up spot in front of Niclas and Magnus.

In 1/12, XRAY driver Mickael Brandt had a good run for the win with his XRAY X12'14 car, winning A1, and fighting with Roland Ström in the next two finals, to finally take 2nd place in the standings.
Kristoffer Axelsson drove his XRAY T3'12 to the TQ spot in the touring car stock class, but had to settle for 2nd place in the overall standings.
It was a fun event for all entrants, and some good results for the Swedish XRAY team.
