Race report by Monika Ackermann
The fifth Swiss Championship Race was held at the beautiful track in Baar. Team XRAY driver Mario Rigert was driving in the Expert Class and Philipp Hagnauer was driving in the Open Stock Class.

Practice was held on Saturday. The weather forecast for the entire weekend was bad. Saturday all day long the track was under water and the rain never stopped so Philipp and Mario only prepared their cars for the race.

It rained during the night, and the track was still wet on Sunday morning but the race still began.

In Open Stock, Philipp prepared his car with a set-up which Alexander Hagberg sent to him a day previous. It was an awesome set-up, making him the fastest driver in Q1 round by 2 laps ahead of Philip Tschupp and 1 lap faster than the best Expert driver.

After that run, the track was getting dryer and all drivers were searching for set-ups during rounds Q2 and Q3. Mario was working very hard on his T3 to find the perfect balance between a wet and dry set-up. After the lunch break the track was dry and the last round of qualifications were held. Everybody had to push their cars to the limit because in both classes there were many drivers close to the TQ.

Philipp worked on his T3 during the lunch break and changed everything from wet to dry (set-up and ESC). It worked very well and Mario and Philipp made P1 in Q4. Philipp had TQ in Open Stock, but because of the point classification Mario only had P3 in the Expert Class but he pushed very hard during the Finals and finally he took P2 and retained his Swiss Championship Title.

Philipp also had to push because Beni Stutz was very close to him but he won this round and with this victory saved his Swiss Championship title but not alone. Beni got the same points − also 2 victories and all other classifications were the same − so Beni Stutz and Philipp Hagnauer are both Swiss Champions!

In the Pro10 class, Seiler Christian was Swiss Champion since Rd4 so he wasn’t driving. Patrick Vogt took his chances and won this round.

Finally we would say thanks to the whole Team XRAY, T&M Models, and Nosram Switzerland for the support!
