Team XRAY gave an excellent showcase again at the famous LRP Masters 2006. In the highly competitive field, XRAY placed three T2s in the A main final − Jilles Groskamp, Andreas Myrberg and Paul Lemieux − making XRAY the most successful team with most cars in the A final.

The A finals were really thrilling until the last race. Jilles won the 1st final and came in 2nd in the second final behind Rheinard, so both of them had 1 win apiece and the last final would decide the overall winner. In the last final Jilles' T2 was super fast and performing great, but having to start in 2nd position behind Rheinard made it very difficult to pass the leading car (who didn’t make any mistakes) despite Jilles pushing for the entire 5 minute run. Andreas had a very good third final run when he finished 3rd which place him in 5th overall position in front of his teammate Paul Lemieux.
