The 2nd ever international Hot Race event was held at the permanent indoor venue of G Racing in Chiari, outside Milan, in Italy. The track was very nicely laid out with quite an open layout, but unfortunately with quite low grip levels. The race was run in three different classes, TC modified and stock as well as 1/12.

In the modified class, I had a consistent performance in qualifying to put myself 2nd on the grid. Nicola Marrone, our new team driver from Italy, secured the 4th spot on the grid in this competitive field. Marco Kaufmann and Guido Ristori also made the final with the XRAY T4â™15 cars.

I went on to secure the 2nd place overall in the finals, and Nicola finished 4th after some close fights with the 3rd podium finisher.
In the touring car stock class, Luca Baronchelli finished 3rd overall for XRAY, also running a T4â™15 chassis.

In 1/12 I took a dominant TQ and win in front of the Spanish XRAY driver Carles Echarri Santiago. Nicola Marrone rounded out the podium for XRAY in the 1/12 class.
