Race report by Kája Novotný
The race was again divided into onroad and offroad part − I took part in all three offroad categories − 2WD buggy, 4WD buggy and stadium truck. The onroad part consisted of 1:10 Formula, 1:12 GT, 1:12 GT, 1:10 Touring Stock, 1:10 Pan car and finally 1:10 Modified classes.

Martin Bayer:
XRAY Racing Series Round 2 was once again an awesome race. The atmosphere here was as always very friendly and everybody enjoyed racing with some of the top drivers.
I raced as well, but mostly I helped other drivers with their set-ups and tried to give them the right tips for their driving style. My cars were amazing and I was able to TQ and win with XT2, XB2 and XB4. At the end of the article are my set-ups that I used.

Max Gotzl:
On Friday we changed the oil in the shocks on 4WD. I also changed the differential oils. After these changes the car felt really good on the track. We had to change the whole set up on XT2 but we haven’t found it yet. We left the 2WD set up as before. With my XB2C & XB4 I was on 3rd after qualifications and with my XT2 i qualified 4th. After the finals the positions weren’t changed.

In 2WD finals Martin managed to take the win in A1 and A2 with quite big gap to the rest of the field and took the overall win! I took the win in A3 after nice fights with Martin, which secured me 2nd place with young Max Gotzl in 3rd!
