The third round of the series were held in Arsunda. The track was in a large sporthall so there was room for a open and fast track. A quite strong lineup of drivers attended this race. During practice traction was very low, but it got better during the day and stayed consistent.
Qualifying was very close, a few seconds divided the top 5 drivers. I took the TQ position in the last qualifier beating Arvid Stenbergs earlier time with 3 seconds.
Arvid was still 2nd and Schumacher driver Niklas Johansson took the 3rd position on the grid. Also Tommy Bergfeldt was fast with his Yokomo but felt ill after the second qualifier and was not able to drive the third one, but he was 4th.
Finals were quite close but I felt I had more speed so I drove away from the pack and could secure another victory. Arvid was close sometimes but made some mistakes at the wrong time so he ended up 4th, Roland Ström took advantage of that and took the 3rd podium position.
Also Mattias Höddelius took home the D-licence trophy again with a very strong performance finishing 18th position overall.

As earlier my starting setup was really good, just a few small changes was needed to get it perfectly balanced, also Arvids car was good and we ran our cars almost the same I think.
Final Results:
1. Alexander Hagberg Xray
2. Niklas Johansson Schumacher
3. Roland Ström Schumacher
