We arrived on Saturday morning and went for short practice. My XB8 felt pretty good and we only had to do a few changes due to very bumpy conditions.
In qualifications I managed to take TQs in all 4 rounds and started 1st in Semi A. Stepan Silhavy made it XB8 1-2 as his 2nd fastest time in Q4 resulted into the 2nd overall!

My semifinal didn´t start well as I hit the bump in the first lap and lost few places, but quickly got back to the lead and my FX powered XB8 won the semifinal with more than lap ahead of 2nd driver and gained pole position for the main final!
We made a few changes on the car for the final and it worked out great! My XB8´17 on PL Pin Points was amazing and pulled away from the field! Unfortunately for Stepan, he had to retire after few minutes ⦠In the end my XB8 took the win with huge gap in front of Ivo Viktorin and Martin Zicha in 2nd and 3rd!
