For the SITCC season finale, there were many entries and was held in Grand-Saconnex Switzerland by host club ERMC on Saturday 9 February 2019.
At the SITCC only the fastest TQ counts, and the track will come up to temp and will be the fastest during the third and final qualification. It was very tight, and it was only a matter of a few tenths of a second, but I pulled off the fastest TQ! It was a major advantage to start off first for the 4 finales.
In the first final, I distanced Kevin Zwahlen, and it was only at the end of the run that Kevin closed in and capitalized on a small error which I made. In the following corner, I attempt to grad the interior and Kevin and I find ourselves for a half a lap, door to door and finally Kevin manages to take the win in Final 1.
In the second final, it all works out well and my T4 is fast! I finish a few seconds in front of Kevin.
For the third final, it is again very tight! Kevin and I distance the field, however I maintain a comfortable gap, so that Kevin is unable to apply pressure. I manage to win by 1.5 seconds.
For the fourth and last final, both Kevin and I again distance the others. Unfortunately he made a mistake and I manage to keep my rhythm and win. In this run CĂ©dric Ansermoz, has a very nice run as well.

| My T4 was fast, the ambiance was fun and the ERMC club, as usual, displayed their good race organization skills. It was a load of fun battling with Kevin, and it was a great feeling to manage to beat him this time. Fine way, indeed, to end the last race of the SITCC 2018/19 season. I convey my congrats to Kevin for earning the SITCC 2018/19 title. |
