Great weekend! TQ and 1st place at the ETS Round 4. My car was very good from the beginning, I tried two different cars in the practices in order to understand which one was the faster for the race and in the end I decided to use the STD car without the ARS system. The electronics, one more time, were on point without any changes in my speedo setup. This race was my first race with the new Montech IS-200, and from the beginning, this body worked so well that we didnâ™t even feel the need to try other body. I want to congratulate the XRAY Team for the great results and work this weekend winning in 3 different classes Modified, Stock and Formula. See you in the next race.

Race report by Jan:
Stock:
I was 4th after the qualifiers and found some good pace for the finals. In the first final I finished 2nd after some very nice battles. In the A2 I was not able to overtake, so finished in 4th. In A3 I pushed very hard and make it to the 2nd place in the middle of the race. Unfortunately I got hit from behind and couldnâ™t finish better than 4th again.
Iâ™m still very happy with the result.

F1:
My car worked very well and I just tried some changes just to see whatâ™s the best way to save my rear tires. In the end I set the TQ.
A1: The guys behind me fought a lot so I was able to take rather easy tone to tone win.
A2: In the first minutes I had a super nice battle with David and Oli, unfortunately I crashed Oli when he tried to overtake me on the straight. I wasnâ™t sure if I closed too hard and didnâ™t give enough room so I let him pass again. In the end he crashed his car a few times and I finished 3rd in that main.
A3: Even I was struggling with my worn rear tires I could win with another tone to tone win.
Overall it was a very nice event for me and Iâ™m super happy to be once again in the mod B-main ;)
With this result Jan Ratheisky & XRAY X1 become 2016 ETS Champion!
