Training
I started off with 2 different 411 cars to see which worked better as starting point.

We had 4 practise runs, run 1 with car 1, run 2 with car 2, and last 2 runs with 411 that felt best. In the 3rd run I was always in the top-3 which was excellent. Last run was worse result as I needed to run in a set of tyres and was 7th. Still good enough to start in the top-heat.

Heat 1 Friday.
Start was good, running 3rd of 4 I rolled the just before the end. The track is great but has some small bumps hat not supermuch grip yet. The small bumps made rolling “easier”. This was place 6 for me, with one 4 sec error, so could have been 3rd, so speed was good.

heat 2 saturday
This run was similar to Friday, start and speed was good, this time a 2 sec roll and again only 6th spot. Speed good enough for 4th … :)

heat 3
I tried some set-up changes but was not as good as hoped, finised 10th.

heat 4.
Back to earlier set-up, and no errors this time, good for 4th place, which made me placed 6th in the a-main. .

2. Marc Rheinard
3. Ronald Völker

Final sunday

Final A
I was taken out from 7th spot and could only finish 10th. Same happened in final B, when I was in 4th position, so again 10th, not amused....
3rd final I managed a great start ad finished 3rd after a really good run.

Place 8th in the end, which is not where I wanted to put my Serpent 411, but at least another top-10 result in a high level race, so speed is pretty good.

Final result in modified:
1. Ronald Völker – 2pts
2. Marc Rheinard – 4pts
3. Alexander Hagberg – 7pts
4. Teemu Leino – 8pts
5. Yannic Prümper – 10pts
6. Christopher Krapp – 10pts
7. Zdenko Kunák – 10pts
8. Marc Fischer – 13pts Serpent 411
9. Patrick Hornum – 15pts
10.Martin Hudy – 15pts

Next races will be EPS in Germany, then the ETS in Italy, and soon the Snowbirds in USA with TC and 1/12.
