This weekend was last EOS race. Race took place at best facility in the world HUDY RACING ARENA. For me it was best EOS race just because track and everything around look much more professional then previous EOS races.

On Thursday we had free practice and on Friday time practice. During practice everything goes perfect so I was confident for race.

Saturday was day for 2WD. My car felt awesome but I didn’t finish first two qualification runs. We had 4 runs of qualifications and best 2 count. I have to drive smart and without mistake.

In the end it put me only to 7 place on grid. I know it will be super difficult to fight for podium. My car had speed for win but from 7th place on starting grid I was able to overtake “only” 3 drivers and finished 4 overall.

On Sunday start new race, 4WD. There I know it will be super difficult fight. In qualification I had good speed but not for TQ. I manage to finish 4x 2nd it put me 3rd on grid.

I know I was faster than Lee, I had to overtake Lee very fast to catch Naoto. First main Naoto wins and I finish 2nd. Second main I pass Lee in first corner. This time I was luck because Naoto crash broke his car in first lap. I took lead and bring home win from A-2.

Going to last main know I have podium in my pocket. After start maximum pushing and try to make Naoto mistake. After start I pass Lee in first corner and start to make pleasure on Naoto. After 1 min. he make big mistake and I was controlling lead.

He was pushing on maximum but I still keep my speed under control with huge lead and bring it home. Super happy to defend the title in 4WD here in Trencin against such hard competition!

Also great performance from my teammates Martin Wollanka & Miguel Matias who despite bad luck finished in 7th & 8th place.
