Euro RX in Barcelona

No final in Barcelona for JC Raceteknik

Far from a perfect race weekend for us during Euro RX in Barcelona. Ola Frøshaug was brilliant during two of the qualifying rounds, but unfortunately finished P4 in the semi final and is the first driver outside the final. Thomas Bryntesson had major problems during both Q3 and Q4.

But we'll keep fighting and now we're refocusing on the next event. Thanks for all the support - you are the best! See you during RallyX Nordic in Höljes on May 6.
