My first race as a team XRAY driver would take place 150km South of Stockholm; it was the third round of the VBC that is an Indoor cup in Sweden. It started out with 2wd: I missed the TQ spot with the smallest margin on a tie braker with Team Associated's Niclas Mansson. Both me and Niclas took one win each on the two first finals and it was all up to the last final. Niclas putted in a good effort of having me trying to put in a clean pass but I got denied time after time.

The next day it was time for 4wd and I was really motivated to get some good results for my new team. It started out perfect with taking all practise rounds and took all qualification rounds with good distance to second. My car felt amazing right from start on the tight track and I knew that if I just focused on my own driving I would have a good chance to to take the win. I won the first two finals with a good margin and also took the track record multiple times and my first win was in the book. I didn't change anything on my car and after the race a lot of people tested it and they were all (very) pleased with the handling of the car.
