The fifth round of Open Challenge series took place last weekend in Prague. With a very bad weather forecast everyone was expecting smaller amount of racers, but it was just the opposite (there were about 100 entries to the race).
In practice both my XB4â™16 ran flawless from the first run and we did just few small changes because of less grip compared to the last week 3rd round of Mibosport Cup. On XB2â™16 we fully utilized the setup versatility of this great car - more flexible chassis, smaller camber angle, thicker wing and softer arms, which worked out great for us!
In qualifications both my XB2â™16&XB4â™16 behaved super good and got overall TQ in both classes. In 2wd it was me, Milan Mudra, Jiri Benes and Max Gotzl making TOP4 for XB2â™16 after qualifications. In 4wd I was followed by young guns Max Gotzl, Milan Mudra and Frantisek Kalenda to lock TOP 4 also for XRAY in 4WD.
In finals my Orion powered XRAY cars continued their domination and won easily all finals in both classes + set the fastest laps in both classes! Second and third finished Milan Mudra (2nd) and Max Gotzl (3rd) in both classes, making double full podium for XRAY!
