Sallanches, APJSL club hosted the French Cup 2008. This beautiful track, located next to âśMont Blanc,âť is well suited to 1/10 electric cars with some interesting corners.

Grip conditions steadily improved over the practice, and event days adding to the increased speeds seen throughout the weekend. After the initial practice, I knew my car had an awesome pace. The setup was very good with both new and old tyres. I was able to continue this during the 6 qualification rounds to secure pole position for the finals. Patrick Miltat, the second XRAY driver in the âśA main,âť qualified in 7th position.

In the finals my XRAY T2â™008 was super fast. I had fairly untroubled races in the finals which let me take the win in the first two finals. With such a good car I managed to make a âśno mistake raceâť and take the victory. The car always stayed well balanced with good traction and a lot of cornering speed.
Patrick Miltat finished the race in 6th position.
