The 1st round of XRS Slovakia series took place last weekend in Hudy Arena. New track layout brought new challenges for all drivers, low tire wear and great atmosphere were promising nice weekend.

In 4wd, Martin Bayer TQed round 1 and 3 to secure the overall TQ with the fastest run in the opening round. My XB4 lined up 2nd and Max Gotzl completed TOP 3!
Finals were pretty much the carbon copy of qualifications as Martin always pulled away while I was driving few seconds back with Max again few secs behind!

In 2wd, it was a bit closer between Martin and me, but eventually the overall TQ went to Martin. I was starting 2nd and Max 3rd!
Even though my car was great in the final, I did stupid mistakes in each leg which put me out of the game. So Martin took his 2nd win of the day, I took overall 2nd place and Max completed the podium after some close fights with Matus Benetin and Bartek Kramza!
