Jiri Mara wins at Czech Open Rd9

Round nine of the Czech Open series was held for the third time this year at the Horni Jeleni track. Conditions this time were pretty bumpy and the track also had much lower grip compared to the previous rounds. The overall TQ was obtained by Jiri Mara from Max Götzl and Kaja Novotny. The main final started and both Jiri and Kaja took off with no problem, fighting for the lead until about 10 minutes into the race when Kaja ran into engine troubles. Taking wider lines to clear the jumps Kaja was still able to proceed but with about 5 minutes to go his car stopped but his pit crew was able to restart the engine and Kaja was able to end the race at slower speed. Third placed Max Götzl also ran into troubles but was able to carry on. Up front Jiri took an easy win from Kaja and Max who had to settle for second and third respectively.
