Race report by Kaja Novotny
The last round of 1/10 Czech nationals took place last weekend in Usti nad Labem. Organisers prepared huge astro track with new layout, which was made just before this race.

On Friday we had free practice. Both my Hobbywing powered XB2 and XB4 felt pretty good and we did only few small changes on both cars.

In Saturday morning, the track was little bit wet which meant lower traction for the first round of qualifications. With small changes on both cars between the rounds, I managed to take TQ in all three rounds of both 2wd and 4wd!

In 2wd finals, everything started well in A1, but after one minute I took a piece of astroturf (because of loosen nail), unfortunately marshal didn ´t pay attention to this corner and I lost more than 10 seconds … In the end I got back to 2nd place, but ran out of time to catch the leader, so Ales Bidovsky took the win. In the 2nd final my XB2 took the win, so it was all going to be decided in the last final (the winner of the race was going to become 2wd champion). In A3, we had great fight with Ales for first 3 minutes, but then Ales made a mistake and I managed to pull away and win the last final! Another fight was for the 3rd place between Marek Schiller and young Milan Mudra and in the end it was Milan who came out better – TOP 3 for XB2!

In 4wd, my XB4 won first two A-mains, while in the last final it was Ales Bidovsky´s XB4, which took the win! The same duo, which fought for the 3rd place in 2wd, fought also in 4wd and it was again Milan Mudra who took 3rd place – another TOP 3 for XRAY!

As this was the final race of the series, there was also the overall ceremony – I became the champion in both 2wd and 4wd class and also took the title in Open Stadium Truck class!

In the end I want to say big thanks to my parents and all my sponsors for their support!
