This weekend was the first round of very popular series XRS Slovakia. Everybody had chance to drive at the best facility in the world. Series is very popular here and we had 130 + drivers. The track was open on Friday morning for free practices. Saturday morning started with free practices for drivers who had no chance to come on Friday.
After Martin Hudy welcomed everyone at the track, he explained new rules for this year. There is many of them but I think most changes has been done in on-road. TC classes modified and stock use Hudy tires which worked really well. Stock and Formula run with handout motor from Hobbywing. Every driver receives his Hobbywing motor for the race and then gives it back at the end of the race. This has very good effect, every car has the same speed and nobody could cheat with motor.

Off-road
Off-road racing saw a new class, stadium truck. It's very new class where we had only few drivers but many other drivers were impressed and got interested. I think next race weâ™ll see many new drivers in this class. In off-road it was me who was leading at all 3 classes during qualification and finals. I took 3x TQ and 3x Win. Fight for second place was pretty strong between Bidovsky and Gotzl.

On-road
Formula was domination for Martin Hudy, he took win in first two mains. Martin was also very strong in touring modified where he also took the win in first two mains. Oliver Havranek showed very good potential as he got Martin under pressure in first laps. This young gun draw everyoneâ™s attention at the race. He took TQ and win in stock class.
Another new class 1/12 GT was after close battles in finals won by Andrej Vnucko in front of second Igor Liptak and third Branislav Panak.
