The sixth race of this season was also the first one with the XB808 2011-spec. It was also the first race for new drivers who recently joined us and made good results already. Aviv Maimon raced for the first time with both the XB808â™11 and the XT8 and finished 7th and 2nd respectively.

Finals
Buggy:
Rami Ksantini, who raced the XB808â™11 for the first time, missed the bump-up for the A-final by a close margin. Good job for him for his first race with XRAY! Asi Bitton had the bump-up position in his semi-final, but ran out of fuel and lost his position. Aviv Maimon also had a close battle for the bump-up and he got it eventually. Adir and I won the two semi-finals.

The A-final started with me and Adir in 1st and 2nd positions. After several minutes of holding this order, Adir suffered engine-related problems which dropped him back considerably and he finished in 6th place. I kept the lead to the end. Aviv finished in 7th place.

XB808 2011
This was the first race with the new car. I didn't have enough time to explore its full potential with the new suspension holders, but I still like it already more than ever!
The new car felt faster and easier to drive.
