1st Race SRC – Swiss Racing Cup MRTM Lostallo

Full podium for NT1

1st Race SRC – Swiss Racing Cup MRTM Lostallo

The race took place in Lostallo, canton of Tessin in Switzerland. The NT1 was very calm to drive on the track and it was easy to control the car so I could drive very fast . I made the best round and won the qualification. Patrick Fankhauser, also an NT1 driver, finished the qualification on the 2nd place.

In the semifinal Patrick crashed with his NT1 into the box and it was impossible for him to finish the race.

I was qualificated for the final which was very difficult to drive because after 8 minutes came the rain and after one or two minutes it stopped raining. 5 minutes before the end of the race the track was dry again. Despite this weather conditions I won the SRC race R1.

Double for XRAY NT1 at Swiss Nationals R1

Double for XRAY NT1 at Swiss Nationals R1

The first of 6 races of this year’s Swiss Nationals was held in Sitterdorf. After some wet training runs the track dried up just in time for the first of four qualifying runs.

After a solid first, run with no errors, I placed third behind the NT1 Pilot Traugott Schär and Raphael Wicki. In that moment I knew that my car, had a good opportunity for a top finish. After all the qualifying runs, I still remained third behind the two. The first nine positions were all XRay Pilots.
After a strong semi-final Raphael was able to take the pole Position for the final.

The first three laps of the 30 minute A-Finals were somewhat unclear und confusing and were marked with accidents and incidents. Michael Schäfer who was in 7th place in the grid, used these mistakes to his advantage and fought his way up to the leading position. I caught up to him before the first fuel-stop and also was able to take Advantage after a little mistake of him. At half time Raphael Wicki caught up to me and put me under a lot of pressure. But i was able to defend my Position to the end.

The car and the engine performed perfectly this weekend. The car was fast and always easy to handle.

A big thank you to all T+M Models who played a big part of the successful weekend.
