Round three of the Swedish Cup was held this past weekend with about 60 drivers making their entry. The track was laid out using the popular ETS carpet with the layout being very technical and pretty narrow at places. Viktor Wilck would come into groove quickly and he took the overall TQ in the Touring Modified class from Marcus van Elling and Fabian Vernersson in second and third respectively. In the final Viktor made a clean sweep to take the overall win while behind him, Marcus and Fabian battled it out for the runner-up spot.

Xray have announced the signing of Hungarian Formula champion, Balint Rajki to their team. The former ETS Stock, Hungarian 1/10th 200mm Nitro, and HPI Nitro Stock European and World Champion will focus on electric touring car and formula racing at all major electric on-road events including the ETS and he has the following to say:

I’m very happy to announce and also feel honoured to be able to join the Xray factory team. I have been following the formula project since the beginning and I truly believe that the X1 car is the best car at the moment so far and I’m sure it will remain the same. Besides the X1 I will also race T4 cars in our National Championship, ETS and some XRS races. I had been basically racing the past 10 years with one brand, but now I feel that this is the right brand to join with having all the different cars I had raced before and also planning to race in the future. I would like to thank Jan Ratheisky and the Hudy family for the opportunity, I will do my best. I also would like to say Thank You to Modell & Hobby and Arpad Kocsis for supporting me with cars over the past years.
