XRAY - Model racing cars

As Martin and Juraj did not come back yet, I have no details on the race progress yet, but from what I was told shortly on the phone was that the competition was incredible and the race very very tough and demanding. Just take a look at the list of drivers, there are all the World Champions, European Champions, some of the best US and Japanise drivers. This race is more or less like an Indoor World Championship.
I heard that the T1FK'05 worked extremely well and in the final Jilles had some of the best car, no wonder as he got from 6th to the 3rd place and in the last final to the 2nd position after some great battle with Masami. I say: AWESOME and great job Jilles and everybody in the team.

Final results for XRAY team:

Out of the 131 drivers on the starting line and featuring the world's best drivers:

3. Jilles Groskamp
12. Joel Myrberg
15. Alex Hagberg
16. Alex Stocker
18. Mike Dumas
23. Martin Hudy
27. Viktor Wilck
30. Steffen Leinburger
34. Michal Bok
39. Andreas Myrberg
43. Vaclav Strupek

and the all the time testing new stuff and testing crazy set-ups > 66. Juraj Hudy

There is a full respect from me to everybody in the whole field. I see the B, C or even D final crowded with some top drivers. It definitely had to be a very tough race.

I heard that all of the other XRAY drivers did also well, Joel ending up second in B final and the young Alex Hagberg showed some nice racing as well getting him to the B final in such a tough competition. Thanks for the rest of team for the great show and team work: Alex, Mike, Andreas, Steffen, Ralph, Viktor, Michal, Vaclav and of course Martin and Juraj.

I am waiting to get report, photos and set-up sheet which will be posted asap.

Once again, good job to everybody and nice showcasing of the XRAY team and the T1FK'05

That's fantastic!

I think it's really swell that Jilles do so good but.....


WHAT ABOUT TONYV?????

Was he there? How'd he do? Does he really get all the hot chicks?



quote="Tonyv"]This weekend the LRP Touring Car Masters, the worlds biggest touring car event for rubber tires on carpet took place in Eppelheim.

This year sported the biggest turn-out of the world's top drivers ever with all former touring car world champions as well as the current world champion Marc Rheinard in attendance. For XRay a strong team attended including Jilles Groskamp, Alexander Stocker, Joel & Andreas Myrberg, Ralph Burch and several others.

In this class field Jilles managed to qualify the T1FK'05 in 6th place. In the finals he was battling it out with the likes of Masami Hirosaka and doing very well. In the end after a 5th, 3rd and 2nd (passing Masami in the last lap!) place finish Jilles took a well deserved and long overdue podium finish in this prestigious event.
