A very precious weekend full of Cups and Victories on the 100th Anniversary of our Republic.
By winning the Turkish Buggy Championship in both categories, I became the Champion of the 2023 season with my Xray cars.
In this race at Afyon Kocatepe University, we once again held races full of excitement, competition, and high adrenaline.
In the last race of the season, Berkan, one of the best pilots in the world, and his father Apo, who came from Germany, were with us. So, I lost the 1st place. It expanded our horizons with its superior driving performance.
We were very pleased that they came and contributed something to us. We are waiting for you again next year with the full team.
While I was in 2nd place in the Nitro category, I had to pit extra as a result of my tire bursting. I was able to fall to 5th and then move up to 3rd, but I could not take 2nd place from my teammate Can Soykal, with a difference of a few seconds.

On the electric side, things were complicated again, the conflict was very high. The rostrum was changing in every heat (Except Berkan) but I came 2nd of the day by placing 2nd in 1 of the 3 finals and 1st in the other.
My Electric Buggy, XRAY XB8E, with my MKT Racing batteries and Hobbywing motor-esc combo, and my XRAY Nitro Buggy powered by FX Engine and Energy fuel they were fantastic as whole season.

This last race organized by RC Park was a great season finale with a good turnout.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the races, stood on the podium and contributed, as well as to all my friends and sponsors who supported me, and to Afyon Kocatepe University and Municipality for providing us with this opportunity.
