The 4th round of XRS Slovakia took a place as always in a great Hudy Arena!
As always there was an open pracice on Friday and Qualies with finals on Saturday. This time we were going on both tracks.

In the opening round of qualifying with 2WD Adam Izsay made a really fast time. I tried to beat it but was still slower. I had to make some set up changes to get a better feeling from the car and make it land better on the jumps. I got much closer to the Adamâ™s time but it wasnâ™t enough. So Adam took TQ, I was starting 2nd and Martin Bayer 3rd.

Martin had some bad luck in the first laps so Adam and I got away. We were fighting for the A1 win but in the end I made a small mistake which cost me the win. In A2 it went better for Martin who took the win, I finished 2nd and Adam 3rd. The last final could decide about better position or even the win for me if Iâ™d won. Everything was going good after the start but few laps later I unfortunately made a mistake and Martin had an opened easy way for the win.

In 4WD qualies it was Martin who topped all the rounds and took overall TQ. I was fighting with Adam for the 2nd place. It was me taking the 2nd position and Adam 3rd.

All three finals went perfect for Martin, he took an easy win from all three mains with a good lead. We had already the winner so it was again me with Adam fighting for the 2nd. After some bad luck for Adam I took easy 2nd place and Adam was 3rd.
In the Truck class Martin topped all the qualies with me second and Juraj Hudy third. Martin took again easy wins from all the mains. I finished 2nd and Bartek Zalewski was 3rd.
