Mesh sheathing offers additional protection and a professional appearance while positive ends are clearly marked to prevent reverse polarity.

Bruno Coelho wins at XRS Slovakia Rd1

Posted: 12 Oct 2020 06:15 AM PDT

The first round of the popular XRS Slovakia race series was held last Saturday at the Hudy Arena in Trencin. Unfortunately, due to local Covid-19 restrictions the entry count had to be limited to 50 drivers. So as expected, the race sold out in very short time, proving the popularity of the series, even in a complicated time like this. The race was run in 5 classes, with 3 on-road classes. Touring car modified, stock (with Hobbywing spec hand-out motors) as well as Formula. In the modified class, Bruno Coelho took the TQ position after the 3 qualifiers, just in front of Alexander Hagberg, with Oliver Havranek in the 3rd spot. Bruno managed to win the race as well, after some really close fights in the finals. Alex and Bruno were separated by less than 1 second in all of the finals, both drivers using the brand new T4 2021 cars.

1. Bruno Coelho – Xray T4
2. Alexander Hagberg – Xray T4
3. Oliver Havranek – Xray T4

In the touring car stock class, Xray team driver Alexandre Duchet led the way in qualifying. He secured the TQ position in front Xray’s onroad designer and team manager Martin Hudy. Oliver Havranek lined up 3rd on the grid. Alexandre Duchet checked out in the finals to take the overall win – but there were some really close battles for the remaining podium positions. In the end, Oliver moved up to 2nd, and Martin had to settle for 3rd after the finals.

2. Oliver Havranek – Xray T4

In the Formula class, it was an Xray X1 trio that locked out the podium, with TQ man Michal Nagy taking the win, in front of Miroslav Rehak. Jaroslav Kriz moved up to 3rd from his 4th qualifying position.

2. Miroslav Rehak – Xray X1

On the offroad track, drivers were racing in 2 categories – 2WD and 4WD. Martin Bayer controlled all qualifications and finals and didn’t give a chance to others drivers to win at least one run. Closest battle was with Adam Izsay, he was fast but several mistakes cost him more close fight. Third place was secured by youngster Matus Benetin who came back to indoor racing after summer break.

2WD results:
1. Martin Bayer – Xray XB2
2. Adam Izsay – Xray XB2
3. Matus Benetin – Xray XB2

4WD results:
1. Martin Bayer – Xray XB4
