Passed the third qualification in “Euro RX” competition. Oliver Erikson was the fastest, but after three races, the overall leader is Jean Battist Dubor.
Jānis Baumanis about the two races in the “Project E” class on Saturday: “The first qualification was quite successful, Siril had a better start in the second. We are doing what we can on the track, but it can be seen that It is interesting to compare how the R5 cars behave in the hands of very good drivers in the Projekt E, because Sirils is a strong pilot, I think there will be interesting fights tomorrow. “The power is very similar to supercars, the weight is heavier, so we lose about 2 seconds in a circle. The car is heavier than 200 kilograms, but its braking distance is longer.

It’s hard to say if I can’t drive this car or if it can’t live with me … I think I’ve done quite a lot and well. Basically – everything I could. “Source: LETA
