The fourth round of the Swedish Cup for the classes 1/8th and 1/10th on-road, as well as Electric TC, was held at the beautiful facilities of Lidkopings RC Klubb. The race saw about 60 entries spread out in the 3 classes. The race was run under perfect weather conditions, sunny and fairly warm, by Swedish standards.

In the electric TC class, I managed to win all qualifiers and finals, securing the overall win with my XRAY X4'22 car. Our Norwegian top team driver Nikko Haheim finished in a strong 2nd place, after showing a blistering pace in the finals, coming close to me on several occasions. We were happy to secure a convincing 1-2 finish for the team!

In the 1/10 nitro class, Oyvind Stusdal from Norway managed to claim the runner up spot, running an XRAY NT1! Congratulations Oyvind! Markus Elmerfors finished in a strong 4th, also running an NT1. Klas Runesson finished 5th, after holding onto 4th for a long period of the race. Tough luck for the XRAY driver Markus Andreasson, who was holding down the 2nd place after a stripped spur gear sent him down the order.
