The first qualification round was held on Saturday under very special weather conditions. It was very windy with gusts up to 80kph, so it was difficult to drive a smooth line as the wind pushed the car sideways very often.
On Sunday the wind was a little bit less but still present. Young driver Florian Hauser had TQ after four qualifying rounds, and I was positioned 3rd on the grid.
The finals were pretty interesting as in every Final another driver won. After a very bad A1 for me, I managed to get 2nd place in A2. After several battles in the last final, I was able to take the win in A3 and the overall win because of the faster time in the last final!
At the end of the day I was very happy with the performance of my car. I ran the 2mm chassis which helped a lot grip-wise.
I would like to thank the race organizers of MRCAL and as well a big thank to XRAY and T&M Models for the great support.
