Feb. 11, 2020
Race Report by Max Gotzl
The fifth round of Czech Maters series 2019/20 took a place last weekend in Sport hall in Prague.
This time we had a grouped practice in the morning, so everyone had at least one round, in a normal group with the same cars. After that we had 3 qualifying rounds, followed by 3 finals.
In the 2wd class it was Adam Izsay who was able to TQ all three qualies, always in front of me in 2nd and Antonia Kovalzski in 3rd, so he was starting in front of me and Antonia to the triple A mains.
In 4wd qualifying I had some more speed and I was able to TQ| the Q1 and Q3 to take the overall TQ. Adam was in the 2nd spot and Jiri Mara in 3rd.
In the truck class I won all three qualies to take the TQ, in front of Frank Hempel in 2nd and Marcel Dostál 3rd.
In the 4wd A1 I and Adam had a very close battle again, but he was able to take the win. In the A2 he made a big mistake, which allowed me to take the advantage of my TQ spot and take the win! So it was all to be decided in the A3, but as I had one more run on the tires, I had kind of disadvantage on that low grip carpet, so it was even closer and more interesting. We had a full race battle, but I was able to hold on to my TQ spot and take the win again, as well as the overall Win! Adam took overall 2nd and Antonia again 3rd place.

Alll my three cars performer really well, I just need to find some better setups for lower grip and it will be perfect! Big thanks to all my sponsors as always, for the great equipment! Next up is the 5th round of XRS Slovakia in the Hudy Arena!
