Xen de Ruwe – Slovenia
Let’s start with Nikola. With solid driving he missed final of best 36 drivers just for a little and
On the end he placed 39. Out of 72 drivers.
Matic Kolmanič – as everyone know on ROTAX GRAND FINAL all karts are lottery picked.
And Matic unfortunately picked bad one .. All week he had problem with kart and engine
But he did not give up and he was giving everything to try qualify in final, but even that was not enough so on the end he ends on 48. Place out of 72 drivers.
Xen de Ruwe – Most overtaking on event
As usually for Xen with the luck he have in Qualification he had problem with engine and could not make his best laps, so he placed 48. Out of 72 drivers.
But as we know him he never give up and every time he push to the max and try to get max out of everything !
So with the great shows on heats he manage to get placed on 5th place for prefinal race and end prefinal on 3th possition.
After points calculated he started FINAL race on 7. Place and in first lap manage to come on 3. Place.
With the passion and adrenalin, he was chasing driver in front of him for 2. Place and in overtaking situation contact was made between Xen and 2. Placed driver, so they both lost 10 places.
But he did not give up and was trying to chase the group back, he manage to end on 7. Place.
And so again one interesting and hot ROTAX GRAND FINAL is behind us.
We showed to the world that we have quality drivers, that can compete with the best and we can be proud on that!
Thanks to everyone which were cheering for our drivers and support them.
