The 33rd installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj takes about fitting in development and testing of their various projects around their very busy Summer racing schedule.
As with every other team, we have worked very hard before this particular battle. Work has been done both off and on the track; the huge amount of work would not be feasible for a single person but rather required the combined teamwork of the racing and R&D teams. After the Off-road warm-up in Austria back in May, we were ready to participate at the official Nitro Touring Euros warm-up in Italy. However, due to some very important work and projects in the factory we had no free time and as such we had to skip the official warm-up and find an alternative date for private testing.
