dear racers,

first i have to say sorry for my delay report, but i needed some time
for me to get rid of the bad result.

free practice started from monday to wednesday. We could practicereally a lot.
We started to running in my new OS engines and we tryeda lot of set ups on my 966.
But on wednesday it was very difficult to
practice still perfect, because we were always 15 drivers for 10 minutes long on the track. And the track was to full of cars and a lot of crashs.

But on thursday they made new heats. Unfortunatly my group was not sogreat because they made the heats from our practice butt nobody knows
about that. Because we got on monday by our registration practice groups but never we used them.

Anyway i tryed to do my best there. I felt really good with my 966,engine were fast and i could made 5 minutes. We tryed a lot with my hot race tyres, because i felt always a loosing rear. But we could
find a good set up in the end. But the track was more difficult thento the efra gp, we had in every heat an other track kondition.


On thursday morning we had a big truble to prepare tyres and to give them to the efra guys.
Finally at 10 am we could started with one control practice. After lunch we made the second one and then we madeone qualification.
But unfortunalty it started 2 groups bevore of my
to rain, so i had no possibile to drive. Only the first few heats could race and the last 3.

so I had to wait the next day. First heat i just tryed to made a save turn.
But on my pit stop we lost the Roll-bar and i had only 11 laps.
So up to the 3. qualifaction, i just could run 23 laps because my one way was broken. And at last turn i was super nervous because this was my last change, i made perfect start but after the pitstop braked up my carburation. So i had in every heat other problems and i've to start on saturday
morning for the first 128 final.

I could win the 128 final with 5 laps in front, and jump up to the 64 won that final with 3 laps in front and I pass into the 32 final. I
was on second place when i have to made my second pit stop, but my engine was so lean that the glow plug brake after one lap, so my dad tryed to restart my engine but the engine was broken. And the race was over for me.

I tryed to do all my best with legal rules. But unfortunalty i could not made an better race!


But i'm very proud of me because i was fast with legal tyres and not like many other drivers.

I would like to say a big thanks to my Papa and Merlin as mechanic,OS-engine Junichi and Yoshi from the great help.

Thanks to serpent, hot race tyres, roga fuel, savox servos, Team-Titan and LMI-racing

see you in few days at the EC 1/10 in Ettlingen
