As usual, the majority of the best drivers from Eastern Europe joined the racing and almost 100 drivers from Poland, Slovakia, Czech Rep, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus gathered together for a weekend of great racing.

A free practice was on the schedule for the whole Friday, with first qualifiers on Saturday and finals on Sunday. XRAY factory team driver Martin Hudy arrived at the track on Friday evening just at the end of practice.

The finals were scheduled for 9AM Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the organisers changed the schedule so the first finals started earlier in the morning. Due to the time schedule change, Martin missed the first final but at the end was still able to win the remaining two finals.
In the end, XRAY made up 6 of the top 10 cars in the weekend, claiming the TQ position and winning the event!
