The track was dusty and hard packed in some areas. In the first round of qualifying , I made a mistake in landing my car, and the relief steering ball joint broke into 2 parts. But I had good results in qualifying rounds 2 and 3. So, after point calculation I got 3rd position out of 38 racers and so I started in 3rd in the main final A.
During the first 10 minutes of the main final race, my engine flamed out once when I was refueling at a pit stop and I dropped down to 6th position. I tried to push my car â“ but carefully â“ and I got up to 2nd position in the last 10 minutes.
