Xray Winter Series Morava Rd3 – Report

The third round of the Xray Winter Series Morava was held just before Christmas and it attracted a total of 105 entries in the five classes of Touring Open, Touring Stock 17.5T, Formula, GT and Hobby. In the Open class Kuba Simurda lead the proceedings right from the start but he was closely followed by young and talented Oliver Havranek who did his best to stay in touch with Kuba. Although he tried very hard, bad luck for Oliver meant he had to settle for third overall in the finals with Michal Vitamvas grabbing the runner-up spot.

The Touring Stock class is gaining more and more popularity in the Czech Republic and so a total of 28 drivers battled for the win. In the qualifiers Jarda Kopecký Jr. took the TQ, beating his main rival Oliver Havránek but it seemed that taking race wins is not Jarda’s destiny as Oliver was able to overtake him in all finals. Jarda had to settle for second while the third spot went to Martin Kratochvíl, who had a very successful weekend.
