The first international 1/8 indoor off-road race was held on November 26, 2005 in Lanskroun, Czech republic. The track was built on an ice surface in an ice stadium. Carpet was laid on the ice surface and one corner was even clear ice! Barriers were installed, one small jump was put at the start of the straight and a second mega-jump was put after a 180° corner. Also, a wooden skid was put under the carpet along a 10m length of track.

The race had 4 qualification runs and the TQ driver was XRAY driver Miroslav Jurenka; this meant he went straight into the final. After the semi-final runs, other XRAY drivers made it into the final: new Czech champion Lukáš Zeman, Dworschak Patrik, and Adámek JiĹ™Ă.

The fight for the first three places was between XRAY drivers: Zeman, Jurenka, and Dworschak. At the 6min mark it was Dworschak in the lead with his perfectly-dialed XB8, and he held first place until the end. The fight for second and third place between Zeman and Jurenka ended in the last laps when Zeman made a small mistake, allowing Jurenka to pass. XRAY domination in the Czech Republic was confirmed at this race, and the distance between the first driver and fourth (not XRAY) was total 3 laps.
This race will be held again in January 2006 because of its big success and interest.
