Round 9 and the end of a Racing year was held at CAAR track. We have had bad weather in some races but we could reach the end.

Round 9 started with young driver Lucas Baruffi in pole position He missed 2 rounds so finished 7th overall in the championship ranking. Lucas promised to us that he will attend all races in 2016.
