Round 1 of XRS Slovenia 2018 took place at the new venue this year − Pista verde Fener (Italy). Weather forecast was quite cold but dry…so it was supposed to be the first weekend in March to be dry…fortunately.
On Saturday a lot of drivers were already present at the track as they wanted to test as much as possible after the winter indoor season.
The electric categories were run with HUDY controlled tires, HW motors and HUDY additive, while in 1/8 IC Track we opted to go for a mixed rule situation for the first year with some drivers using free tires with additive, but the drivers who race for championship used the Contact tires and so they also collected points for it.
