Race report by Marco Kaufmann
The Pegasus Masters took place in Piding last weekend. 96 drivers started in four different classes. In the Modified class a lot of good international drivers attended, like my teammate Tim Wahl and the Austrian Champion Dominic Vogl.

The track was very technical with a lot 180 degrees corners and some nice chicanes. The carpet was the same as at the ETS indoor season. For this race we used the new Volante indoor tires.

The event started Saturday morning with controlled practice in groups. My car worked very well and I was able to dominate the practice in all rounds. In the first three Qualifications on Saturday my car was awesome. I won the first three Quali rounds. The third run was a perfect run for me, it was the only 24 Lap run at the whole weekend. On Sunday I struggled a lot with myself and crashed in Q4 and Q5. Tim Wahl was very strong now and finished in both rounds on 1st place.

In the first final I made a mistake in the second lap, Tim took the win with a clear run. In the second final I was able to take the victory.

The last final was the deciding one between Tim and me. We both had the chance to take the overall victory. The latitude of the track was so tight at some sections, that it was difficult to overtake another driver in an accurate way. After some very fast first laps we had a little gap between us and the third position. Tim was direct behind me and made a lot pressure. I was able to hold my line and finished first. It was a nice third final with fair fighting and a good show and promotion for our sport.


It was a great weekend, which was very good organized by the Pegasus Racing Team. The new XRAY T4´16 cars showed an impressive performance. Looking forward to the upcoming races. See you at the track
