For this round, three categories run, TC modified, TC Stock (blinky with 13.5t motors and ratio limit), F1 (blinky with 17.5t motors and ratio limit). There was no handout tire nor maximum number of tires but since the track is very friendly on tires without sacrificing traction, all TC drivers chose the LRP G32 since it’s the handout tire for the Greek Championship for the TC, while for F1 the new Hudy formula one tires.

To increase fun and also playing time, we have decided to run a reedy style event with 8 runs counting 6. We kept the idea from Reedy format of changing starting position on every driver for very run to create different “finals’ť and help us improve on overtaking and also defending our position.
Weather wasn’t very friendly as temperature was around 38 Celsius and the track was 55-60 Celsius, and the battels on all categories the track heated up a lot.
