Our 2WD was working very well and I was surprised with the improvements and I can say that my car was able to manage the win but I just drove very badly in the finals. Anyways, it was much better than the other times and I will be stronger for the next race for sure!
No comments to the 4WD â“ itâ™s a beast like always.
I want to thank the whole Team XRAY for the great weekend and for the hard work during all race.
I want to say thank you to the whole XRAY Team for the all help and support during this race and a special thanks to Martin Bayer and Kája Novotný for all help and friendship.

Race report by Max Gotzl:
The 3rd round of Euro Offroad Series took place last weekend at Hudy Arena in Trencin. There were over 300 entries so that was a big event. The prepared track was very hard for this race. I learned a lot at this race and so far the best results in my life.
On Friday morning we started free and later timed practice with Truck Stock. From the beginning I was the fastest driver of us all. I won all free and timed practices and was starting 1st to qualifications. Then I took overall TQ by having the fastest time in all 4 quallies. Had some bad luck in A1. I made some mistakes but despite this I still won. In A2 I got a big lead in front of other drivers. This meant that I took overall TQ&Win for the third time! Very nice finish by Oliver Havránek who has driving the Truck Stock for the first time. He finished 3rd behind 2nd Adam Izsay.
On Friday morning straight after the Trucks Stock started 2WD free and timed practice. I didnâ™t drive very well in practices. After quallies I got to the C-main, there I had some very nice battles with Joel Valander and Bartolomiej Zambrzycki for the win in C1 and because of their mistakes I won. In C2 it was more relaxed for me. I didnâ™t make mistakes and easily won it. After winning C1&C2 I was definitely the winner of C-main. I have never made so good result with 2WD.

Truck Modi and 4WD free and timed practice started on Saturady afternoon. After practice with 4WD I stayed in the 3rd best group. After two qualies which were driven on Saturday evening I was 19th what would be very great because it could be B-main. On Sunday morning we drove next two quallies which werenâ™t so bad but I wasnâ™t able to made it to B-main and finished 2nd after qually in C-main. In C1 I didnâ™t make any mistake and easily won it. In C2 I had one crash and because of it I didnâ™t win. C3 was much luckier for me. I made only one mistake but still had a big lead in front of other drivers and had secured overall win in C-main!
With Trucks Modi I was in the best group after practice. Qualified 7th. In A1 I drove well from the start and finished 6th, in A2 6th too but in A3 9th. Overall I finished 6th whatâ™s my best result in Truck Modi.
All my 4 cars powered by Hobbywing electronics were working super well all the weekend! Congratulations to all the Team XRAY for very good results in all four categories! Thanks to all my sponsors for the support!
