The day started off fine, with the practice round which also is used as a reseeding round. I was able to clock the fastest consecutive laps with both my XB2â™17 and XB4â™16.

In the 1st qualification round I TQâ™d the 4WD round despite a silly mistake costing me almost 2 seconds on the last and final lap. In 2WD, after making numerous mistakes, I managed a 4th place. Unfortunately, from this point on things started going downhill, for me.
With a mindset which was not up to par, I struggled to execute clean laps in both 2WD and 4WD. I was clearly disappointed as my cars, especially the XB4â™16 were very quick. Finals were also difficult as I couldnâ™t focus for more than a few corners at a time. I finished 2nd with the XB4â™16 in the A main.

Congratulations to my team mate Marc Heim who finished 1st and 2nd with his XB4â™17 and XB2â™17 respectively in the A mains. Fabulous display from Marc for his first participation at the SIORC.
