The third and final race was held at the hotel hall in Hrotovice on April 4, 2010 in the same hall as the ETS race. As with the last race, there were local events on the Saturday and many drivers participated in both events. The track was very similiar to a track at ETS in Poland, but was a little bit smaller.
Stock
Zdenko Kunak won the first two events and he had the Czech Champion in the Stock. He drove very well, won the race, and confirmed his title. His biggest rival, Jiri Mara, had a problem with motor power and was not so fast.

Modified
The big battle was in the Modified category. Zdenko and I had same score after two races, so this race would decide who would be Czech Champion.
It started with the Saturday race, where all drivers prepared their cars for the Sunday race. I was about 0.3sec slower than Zdenko Kunak and Michal Bok. All day I tried changing everything on the car but nothing helped. My car was loose and understeered. I found that they used old Xenon tires; this tyre was used for the first time at the first ETS race and had different wheels. My tires were newer and had less grip. Jiri Mara gave me the old tires and I was then 0.3sec faster... it made such a big difference. I made this change for the last final run.
On Sunday I was finding a new setup for the old tire. Zdenko and I improved our lap times by about 0.3sec; we had the same speed, so things depended on who made the fewest mistakes. Zdenko won the first qualification run, I won the second. In the third qualification I drove over tape and my car rolled. I tried pushing really hard, but Zdenko made no mistakes, won, and got TQ. I came in second.
The final was very interesting. I drove the entire 5min behind Zdenko and waited for his mistake, but it never came. He did make some small mistakes, but there were no chance to overtake him. The first and second finals were the same in that respect. Zdenko won the race and became Czech Champion in the Modified, while I was second. Zdenko did not participate in third final, and I won it.
