Russian Electric On-Road Nationals 2014 was held from 28th to 30th of March at Agalatovo RC Carpet Raceway near St. Petersburg. I participated in this race in ProStock 10.5 turn class.
Friday practice:
Practice runs started with very low grip conditions. The brand new track layout and new tires did my driving even harder. My main goal was to run-in fresh set of tires, drive safely and learn perfect lines. After practice I was 5th.

Sunday qualifications:
In my first qualify runs I focused on not fastest but stable laps without mistakes. Only one change in my basic setup was made â“ increasing rear toe-in to reduce steering. My T4 was amazing! So as result I took 4th starting position on the grid.

Sunday finals:
For finals my strategy was not fight in the first corners because of high probability of massive crash. After start I tried to keep pace of leaders and simply waited for mistakes. All happened as I expected and after a couple of collisions I managed to win first and third finals. So I very happy for my best result in RC career!
