Just four  days after we receive our pré-production car , last weekend we took part in the 2nd Round of Nitrocross Cup, one of the most important Regional series in Brazil.

We've made a " shakedown" test on saturday , and made some small setup changes due to our track is very very bumpy and also with a lot of dust.


On sunday we made a very good crontroled pratice and made a 2 place. During qualifying we made some mistakes and this put us on the third place in the starting grid.

This race is composed of two 30 minutes heats. In the first heat after an acident on the first lap that live us on the last place, we made a very good race and just before the first pitstop  we were on the second place. As the first one was a very good gap we finished this first heat in the second place.


On the second heat, we made a very good start and were very close to the first one. We put a lot of pressure over him and soon he made a small mistake we took the leadership and go stretching the gap till the end of the race !!!

But how we lost a lot of time in the first heat, we finished in the second place of race ( heat1 + heat2).

We were very very happy with the overall  performance of the car, the handling, easy of adjust, durability and also the SPEED !! This car is FAST !!!!
