Driving again after one year on astro turf was quite difficult for me. All my cars were working pretty good from the beginning, but high traction together with big bumps made it very challenging.
In 2wd qualifications, my Hobbywing powered XB2 TQed 1st and 3rd round of qualifications to take the overall TQ with Ales Bidovsky in 2nd and Marek Schiller in 3rd!
In 4wd, my XB4 was on fire and TQed all three rounds with Ales and Marek again 2nd and 3rd!
Truck class was pretty much the same story as 4wd as my XT2 took overall TQ ahead of XT2 of Marcel Dostal!
In 2wd finals, it just wasn´t meant to be this time as in all three finals I did either stupid mistake or got taken out. Ales Bidovsky drove his XB2 perfectly in these challenging conditions and took the win in all A-mains, congrats!

In 4wd, my Hobbywing powered XB4 won first A-main with quite a big margin to 2nd and 3rd driver. Everything was looking great also in A2 until I hit a bump and fell down the order and only managed to get 3rd. With A3 being the deciding one between Ales, Marek and me, it turned out to be great show as an early incident between Ales and me moved Marek to 1st place and it was three horse battle until last 30 seconds, when I finally managed to get back to the lead and took the win!
