The Hungarian On-road National Championship was held at Budapest last week. The local XRAY Team finished on the podium in every category, stock, super stock, world GT and Modified.
Stock category:
I was a bit worried at the start of the day, because I couldn't run good lap times at the practice day. Hopefully I could prepare everything correctly for the qualifying when it was important. I could run fast laps and with no mistakes, I won all three qualifying with 3 second lead.
I knew that the finals were going to be exciting as there were many good drivers behind me on the grid. With perfect starts I could get away from the rest of the field and won the first two finals with 9 and 5 seconds lead and secure the final victory.
In the last final I used an older tire and ran a close race during the whole 5 minutes with my teammate, but I could also win that main so it was a 100% day for me.
In this category Balazs Kalman achieved a good result, starting from second position on the grid, defend it during the finals and he could secure a second overall finish.
