The first round of German Nationals was held this weekend in Oberhausen. Hosting club did amazing job with preparing track. As usually German tracks are bit different compare to other tracks that I am used to. There were 6 different types of surface on this track. It means you have to be perfect on all grounds in order to fight for the top spots. It was my first experience on this track. Last time I drove 8 scale on Euros in France so I start with set-up from Reims. Car felt very good right from the very beggining so made just a small changes to the tires and front suspension.

On Sunday we ran semifinals and finals. Forecast didn't look very promising and we had some rain during day. I lead my semis from start to the finish and take pole position for main final.
In main final I led from start to finish with a comfortable gap. After 40 minutes I cross the finish line and took the win.
