Joel's comments after race:
"I'm little disappointed that I did mistakes in 2wd finals after having great qualifying, I was so close to take second national title. But winning all four races in 4wd feels really good! My XRAY with Hobbywing and Highest electronics were dialed all day and I only needed to focus putting fast and clean laps. Huge thanks to all my sponsors: XRAY, Eurorc.com, Hobbywing, Highest, Hudy, EV-Peak and T-shades and of course my family for support!"
