Race Report by Nuno Pinto
2022 Luso Galaico Gold Edition 1/8 GT – Travessas track – Portugal
First race of the Spanish/Portuguese trophy with a lot of previous editions. This year we started with the Portuguese race held in Travessas track at S.Joao da Madeira.
First race of the year, and first race with the XRAY GT8X 22, powered by the FX G501 engine.
The car was finished at the track, and the break in was the possible made during the last hours of Saturday. The initial set-up was the advised by factory, and we tried to improve during the two runs that were possible to made on Saturday.
Sunday was a beautiful sunny day, but very cold. Three qualify races during the morning (always first and always improving. It was possible to achieve 17 laps in 5:16m, 5:11m and 5:01m with the best lap improving from 18,009s to 17,796s and finally 17.241s).
All the changes made to the car had a very positive impact on the performance.
The final race was a 30 minutes one, and we had only one problem with the right back tire, that didn’t handle the effort.
First race, first win, very happy with the XRAY/FX pack.
