The pre-worlds was a funny race, the MTX-4 tq'ed and qualified 2nd as well. The two front running MTX-4's had a coming together and also did tyre changes even though it may have only been a right rear where as the v1RRR driver did not and was also off the pace because of it. How could he have been off the pace you ask????? Well take into consideration that the 2nd placed MTX 4 was 2 laps down at one stage and regained a lap on the leader. So it was very smart driving and some luck plus the car was pretty much on the pace at the beggining of the race.
