I used my car and setup from the Snowbirds and just change my rear springs from 2.6 up to 2.7 for a bit more on power steering. In the practice and qualifications my car worked from the first lap very good for me so I was fully concentrated to upgrade my F1 car. Unfortunately I got some bad luck in the qualification which set me 3rd on the grid which I am still very happy about.
Finals:
1: I got a good start and was pushing to overtake my team mate Mike. Unfotunately, he made some small bad lines and I had to brake too many times which my follower didnâ™t expected and he crashed me out. Now I was stuck in traffic and had to overtake some guys to finally finish 4th.

2: Again I was pushing a lot on Mike. After a mistake in the shikane I was able to get the inside line for overtake but Mike close the line and I crashed out. After this I was again stuck in traffic so my race for the win was over.
3: The start was very good again and Marek got a bit wide which granted Mike to overtake him and luckily he didnâ™t close the line and hit my car and got back to race behind me. Now it was possible for me to be on the podium and I pushed as hard as I could. Some laps later I was able to overtake Mike and then keep a safe distance between him and me until the end of this leg to finish 1st and get the overall 3rd place.

F1:
This ETS I was very happy to see that my team mate Bruno also ran F1 and set some very fast laps in the practice which gave me a very good feeling and I tried my best to beat him and Franci who seemed to be my hardest contender this weekend.
Qualifications: The first Q Bruno was much faster than me but he made some mistakes which allowed me to set a TQ run very tight. The Q2/Q3 and Q4 my car worked much better and I was able to set in all Q´s a TQ run with a safe gap.

Finals:
F1: My car worked again better and better and I was able to set a tone to tone win. F2: It was the same like Final 1 and I could make a safe gap between my followers and secure my overall victory in that class. F3: I would try my car with a higher ride height for maybe better rotation but my mate Bruno was unable to start his car because of some transmitter problem, so I gave him my car for the last final. I guess the ride height change worked well as Bruno was able to win the 3rd final and secure the 2nd place on his first F1 ETS.
