CIK-FIA World Championships After terrible track conditions on Saturday, all races were canceled for the organizer to attempt to improve what was proving to be a dangerous race track. Sunday morning has arrived and conditions have deteriorated with 4-5 corners having been repaved overnight, giving an even more slippery surface. Early morning runs saw clouds of cement dust filling the sky’s and affecting driver visibility. The final was held in terrible conditions where the track and cement turned to a concrete slush. Matts engine choked with cement and where in 5th place he lacked power and was demoted to 7th. A fantastic result in his 1st ever World Championship event.
