It was a little bit challenging. It started not well due to the missing grip at the beginning but the S120 LT car felt really good during practice!
I made 2 - 3 small mistakes in the first round of qualifying, I lost 4 sec. but nevertheless I managed to take the 4th place.
The first run was fast enough to secure a place in the A-Main. Something strange happened with the car for the next runs and I could not figure out what.
For the final, I rebuild the full car, but already after 4 laps I got some tire problems (broken tire) and I finished the race on 10th position only.

Hi Racers,
Before the race
Despite the good result at the DHI Cup I've changed the basic setup on my Serpent. With the new setup I was able to drive very good lap times on my home track. Sunday before the race I was in Vamdrup practicing on the permanent indoor track. I was able to fine-tune my car and I tried various tire additives. The carpet is the same as in Herning at the DRCMU 1 - very tricky to drive, because the carpet has several spots with less grip. I was able to press my best lap time down to 10:81.
Practice at the race
On Saturday before the race free practicing was announced....

On Saturday 21.1.2012 the opening race of the winter series Open Tour Trutnov was held.
64 drivers took place in 4 categories. An "open" category was the strongest one with 34 drivers and among these drivers we could see the toughest fights for a victory as well.
In the end both TQ and the victory took a young driver Michal Blahovský with a Serpent S411 car.
In a main final, Michal had been under a big pressure of 9 XRAY drivers.
Right after the race Michal said that his car was running absolutely perfect! It has been only his 3rd race with the Serpent car so far and Michal appreciated...
