Friday’s practice

Unfortunately the practice did not well at all, the car felt relatively OK but it was too slow and after the first timed practice I was on 17th place :-(! In the second session it was even worth, I was 21st!)
1st heat
I could gain the lead but unfortunately I made 3 or 4 small mistakes, I lost 5 seconds and I finished on 10th position.

2nd heat
In this heat, the car was not so good and very difficult to drive so I was only 14th!

3rd heat
I experimented on some slight setup changes, rear and front springs, Shock/Oil, as well as the geometry of the car. After these changes the car felt much better and I was on 9th position.

4th and final heat
I have changed again the oil of the shocks and the geometry of the car and was still able to fight for the A-Main with a gap about only 0,4 sec. but at the end I qualified 11th.


1st B Final
I had a clean start and I pulled away from the field and took the win of this first final. The gap between me and the rest of the field was about 3 seconds.

2nd B Finale
I was only 9th due to a broken gear diff. immediately after the start.

3rd Final
At the start I was able to pull away and after 2 minutes I built a lead about 2 seconds but due to a small mistake, lying on the roof, I lost 7 seconds. Last but not least I finished the B-Main on 3rd position.

Final result
11th place Marc Fischer / Serpent S411

I would like to thank Allessandro Brunelli, the Serpent Italian Team and my sponsors.
