The 1172m long Slovakia Ring offered a challenge to the participants in the third round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series, with its many tight corners and short, old-fashioned straights. Data collection was one of the objectives of this meeting, less than three weeks away from the European Championship.

"We're very satisfied with our first weekend in Slovakia," said Marco Parolin. "The races were very tough, with a number of incidents that delayed us. Our level of performance was really good in both categories. In the Junior class, Christian Costoya's leadership was unquestionable. It was with a magnificent victory, nearly 4 seconds clear, that he concluded a formidable meeting. William Calleja had taken pole position, Qarrar Firhand came close to the Final top 10, while the comebacks from Sun Anzhe, Efim Derunov and Alexander Chartier in the heats were exceptional. Vivek Kanthan came close to the Final top 10 in OK. Zac Drummond made up 30 places in the heats, but he didn't finish the Final along with Miguel Costa and Anatoly Khavalkin. We'll be working with the data we've collected to prepare for the next European Championships."
