XRS Slovakia rd. 4 – offroad part

The 4th round of popular – XRAY Racing Series (Slovakia) took place last weekend in beautiful Hudy Arena. Big surprise for all participants were new tracks – both onroad and offroad (almost similar to EOS layout)!

In 2wd qualifications, my Orion powered XB2 worked perfectly and I managed to set the fastest time over 5 minutes to get overall TQ! 2nd and 3rd place on the grid belonged to young Max Gotzl (XRAY) and Ales Bidovsky (XRAY)!

Finals went pretty tough for me as I didn’t manage to jump the first double after the start in both A1 and A2 and so I had to work my way back through the field in both mains, but managed to take the overall win! Big fight was for the 2nd place between Max and Ales and in the end it was Max who took 2nd!

Onroad report by Jakub Simurda

The fourth round of well-known XRS Slovakia was held in Trencin on the 18th of February. Over a hundred racers were split into three off-road and six on-road classes.

Hudy Arena keeps all incomers in very nice environment. Pits are comfortable and provide enough space for each driver. On-road and off-road track were both slightly redesigned. The first named got a bit easier shape. At least on the first sight. On the other hand, heat after heat differences were becoming smaller and smaller. Off-road track was not that easy – as usually. Even experienced drivers made mistakes every single heat.

In formula class Martin Hudy held TQ, which he could convert into victory at the end. Behind him finished rising Slovakian 2WD star Andrej Vnucko, leaving Igor Liptak on the third spot.

The fastest 4WD class – Modified was only about catching Martin Hudy. The fact that Martin is very fast driver is on his hometrack was underlined twice. So that he was able to bring home another victory and extend his set of cups. Kuba Simurda’s pace was just enough fast to reach second spot. But that was maximum he could do. Third spot came to Oliver Havranek.
