Saturday, June 25 the 5th Round of the Swiss Racing Cup was held in Sitterdorf. After some trial with my tires and ending up 4th in the qualifying, I decided to change to my Galaxy tires for the final.
With the Galaxy tires, my NT1 was perfect from the first lap on. I won the half finals and was on pole position for the final. In the Final Philipp Buehler, the top qualifier, put me under some pressure. About three minutes into the race I lost the lead due to a small error I made, but with a very fast first pit stop done by my dad, I regained the lead. In the end I won the race in front of Philipp Buehler and Michael Schäfer by almost 7 seconds. Was a great day!
In the 1/8, my Team mate Beat Heiniger finished the Saturdayâ™s race in 2nd position with his RX8. Very nice race!!!

Sunday, June 26 the 6th Round of the Swiss Racing Cup
Sunday, new day..new race! Really fast was on Sunday Philipp Buehler. After the qualification rounds he finished just 1 second behind me, followed by Michael Schäfer and Jakob Buehler.
On Sunday I wasn't so lucky. After losing the screw from my 2nd speed shaft, I was able to gain up to the group and achieved the fastest lap of the whole weekend. But then I made another mistake and damaged my rear wing and finished only on 9th position.
My XRAY mates made a very nice race and the Buehler Family finished in 1st and 2nd position. Congratulation to my team mate Martin Wenger who won the race with his RX8.
In the end it was a very nice weekend and we are really looking forward to the next race in Langenthal on the 13th/14th August 2016.
