Austria Nats Rd.1 was held in Graz. My car worked very well from beginning, it was the fastest on the track and easy to drive. During the practice and qualifying I tested some set-up changes but at the end I switched back to my starting set-up as it was just the best.
After qualifying I was in first place and I felt confident going to the finals. In the semifinal I tested how hard I can push and did two mistakes which was just enough for Bauer Dominic to finish first and I took second place.
The final was the best and hardest ever at the same time. After my good international results, I felt a lot of pressure, expectations were very high. I knew I had to win this race, but Dominic wanted it as well. We drove together all the 45 min, same speed, same pace and only max. 5 seconds gap. Making no major mistakes we pushed all the way to the end and I won just 1 sencond in fron tof Dominic. Dominic is, in my opinion, one of the absolute top drivers. Also Michael Nalukowy showed a great performance, he just had a bad luck in the beginning and finished 3rd.
Final results:
1. Wollanka Martin â“ XRAY XB8
2. Bauer Dominic
3. Nalukowy Michael
