Both cars were in perfect shape and had a very good setup for the track. Today one of our top german drivers showed up with an A800 and was instantly 1-2 tenth faster than with his T4. So this is maybe the best car around. And were is it in the ETS sheets?! Tenth

The top 10 is spread by only about 5 seconds, meaning one mistake or some laps with a little traffic could cost a top run. So I would say Kevin is doing a great job as a non-regular over there.

There are many ways to setup a car, even the the wing of a body is very important to tune... My second race today this year, (did a lot of kitesurfing this spring and summer) made it to te A final, 11.909 was my fastest lap and 12.334 sec my best average, finished 5 overall, winner has 11.6 fastest and 12.05 average with the tamiya 419, so the tc6.2 with stock arms, rsd shocks configuration, is not so bad, if you see there are a lot of xray 's '16. If the tc7 is a little bit better than the tc6.2, I'm sure it will be a winner for me, and more training of course. I' m proud that I the only asso Tc driver in my region, it gives me a good feeling if they say around the track ' look who' s that Asso is going around like he 's driving on rails.. 'looks so fast in the chiccane. On that moment I have sparks in my eyes ��. I' m the outsider, 'the lone Wolf' with my AE TC6.2, and I can count on him. I edmit I'm a Asso addict lol. I would be even more proud if the new car is made to make a winner, not to be in the shadow of other top brands. Design to win, not to follow... Okey sorry I'm in the flow of a good raceday...
