The second round of the Austrian 1/10 off-road nationals were held in the very north of Austria at the wonderful track of the GMAC Litschau. The weather forecast did not look pretty for the whole weekend with a lot of rain and low temperatures predicted. Luckily we could run the complete race without any delays, just the wind and the low temperatures made it really tough.

Both of my Tekin powered XRAY cars worked really well from the beginning and I did only make minor changes to my standard setup. In 2wd I could TQ and win the event with a clean sweep. 4wd was a different story - 4 people had almost the same pace and it was a hard fight from Q1 to A3. XRAY driver Roland Macho won the first qualifying round, Q2 went to Peter Pinisch; I could fight back in Q3 & 4 to secure the overall TQ spot in 4wd as well. The finals saw the same fight again â“ this time it was Marcel Rekettye who set the pace, he just made too many little mistakes and finished 2nd overall. I could win A1 and 3 and secured the overall win in this class as well. Peter Pinisch finished 3rd overall with his win in A2.
