This weekend the 3rd round of French Nationals was held in Mutzig at astro track. This was the first race on this type of surface for me. We had a nice sunny weather with high temperatures and a lot of grip. I tried a lot of different settings on both cars during the free practice and found a perfect set-up that made me confident going into the qualifications.

In 2WD I won the first two qualification runs but due to some problems the Q3 and Q4 didn’t go as planned. In 5th qualification I had a great battle with Nico Risser who took the TQ at the end.
4WD qualification was a bit more complicated for me. Making too many mistakes I finished 2nd in Q1 and Q2 and 3rd in Q3. Luckily, Sunday morning I was able to win the Q4 and Q5 and TQ this class in front of Armand Lanthaume.

Finals were all about not making mistakes. In a close racing I won both classes. Both cars and the electronics worked very well and I want to thank to my sponsors: XRAY, Hudy, RcConcept, Proline, Spektrum, Maugrafix.
