The Baltic Championship 2015 was held at the freshly renovated Tartu Racetrack. The race consisted of free practice, 5 rounds of Qualifying and 45 minute Main Final. Drivers came from Latvia, Lithuania and Finland always great to have racers from other countries here as well.
Having had no racing on the new track, it was nice to get to start fresh on Friday. The first few practice runs went okay, in the evening I managed to get top seed by a few seconds. Qualifying was pretty great, managed to TQ 3 out of 5 rounds and also post the fastest time of the day with minimal setup changes.
The final started out good, got a clean start and managed to gap the field a bit, even staying in the lead throughout the first pit stops. Later on I started having issues with lapped traffic in the more bumpy sections of the track, them going too fast and causing collisions with each other or even with faster cars, so Hendrik could catch up and start racing me. After a disaster in the pits, where a car stopped in front of me I lost the lead to Hendrik and I was told that he found a lot of pace so I decided not to push too hard and it worked somewhat, the gap shortened lap by lap, unfortunately not enough this time. Still very happy with the result and also congratulations to Hendrik for winning his first 1/8th scale titles this year! Hendrik was also able to win in electric class.
Huge Thanks to all my sponsors and fans, couldn't have done it without you!
