Exhausting week of racing in Texas!🇺🇸

I think this has to be one of the most exhausting races I have done, one week of racing! When I arrived home I slept almost 15 hours😂.

My MAYAKO MX8-27 with teamsavox servos was really solid whole week! With some help from Throttlefinger Racing Concept and INVISIBLE SPEED we got the car really good on this tight track!

I was almost able to make it straight to the semi finals but had to bumb up there from quarters. Unfortunately in the semi I made one mistake that cost me the bumb up. In the LCQ I had even better pace but I was not able to do it this time, finished 17th overall which is my best result from 1/8th nitro buggy worlds!

This track defenetly was not my comfort zone so I am happy that I was really battling for a spot in the main final!

Great job to the Americans for figuring out how to set everything to get over 10min runtime, they really showed how much that affects on this packed field of racers!

Huge congrats to David Ronnefalk on winning his second worlds title! Really happy to see that, and it was even more special to be small part of it as he told me that I motivated him to go run and get into better shape!

Special thanks to Jose Valadao for all the help and laughs during the week, can not wait to make the trip to Bermuda! Also JQ for trusting me and making me a better driver every day!

Thanks to my sponsors!
