On Saturday we had 2 free practice in the morning, the track style mud.
In Electric class my XB8E was good. I do the best free practice time, TQ all the 4 rounds of qualify and won first 3 finals from overall 4.

The car was easy to drive and thanks to my new Rc Concept battery I could do the 10 minutes of the final very easily using only half of the 8000mha of the battery. I was fast as my nitro car so I can make exactly the same setup and the same qualification times or lap time.

In Nitro my XB8 car was very fast but I make some little mistake during the first 2 round in qualifications, lost the TQ for less than 1 second. The 3rd round was very close with JĂ©rĂ´me Sartel but I TQ it, and in the last round I made no mistake and an average lap time was very close to my best lap...
In semifinal I start 1st, nobody can catch me during this semi, making only one mistake in 20minutes and very consistent pushing more in each lap. I won my semi Final with a lap leading on the 2nd faster driver. In finals I started 1st in front of JĂ©rĂ´me Sartel and Romain Valter. I stayed 1st during all final, and never under pressure. I won with 20 seconds margin in fron of 2nd and 2 laps in front of the third driver.
The track was super good, all the staff do an excellent job during all the week ! Now it is time to prepare the World Championship in Padova in less than a month !
Thanks to my sponsor Xray, FX, Hudy, Sigma, Proline, RcConcept, Jo-graphix
