The EUROS were really great but with plenty of no luck for the Team XRAY. The first days and practice was all great with 3 XRAY cars in the top 10. But then the bad luck came. In the qualifiers most of the guys were struggling with electronic or engine troubles or heavy traffic. Teemu & Martin had to work their way from lower finals and bumped-up couple of times when the engine flames ended their efforts. Then in semi finals the radio/electronic problems for Lafranchi (4th after qualifiers) and Sartel also ended their obvious chances for the final. So at the end it was Jon who was doing a perfect showcase in the main final getting from rear of the drive field to the 3rd position but unfortunately again the engine stop meant drop to the final 4th position, just missing the podium.
The week was very hot and extremely dusty, the racing and action awesome, all XRAY drivers were great and we had a lot of fun and a nice result. The podium would be of course podium, but with probably over 20 different cars and teams at the race and just 12 places in the final and just 3 places on the podium and just 1 winner's trophy, it is really not easy.
