Race report by Michal Abrahamek (click to enlarge)
This weekend I had the last round of Czech national championship in Svitavy.
I choose 1/10 category for this race, in any case I am not attend all Czech championship for this year and I canâ™t fight for overall result. I can say that for me perhaps the most difficult race this year. The longest track in the country, technical passages alternate with long straights. And perhaps most tire wear. My preparation for this race was about tire wear and tire change strategy.

I made 3rd position after the qualifying with some small trouble and I had no problem moving up from the semi-finals of the A-main.
I have chosen refueling on 5 min and tire change after 20 minutes. And I was sure that with this strategy should not be a problem to place in top positions.

After 25 minutes I lead the final race with a one lap lead. I knew that I must push very hard, because some driver on top position do not change the tires. I had to change the tires in the middle of the race so I lost my gap that I gained during the race. At the end it paid off as I finished 1st with 2 laps ahead all field. Excelent strategy.
In main final I put new track record for this category.
