Weather in Croatia is speedway-friendly, so Vaculik had some great conditions to test his equipment. For Vaculik, year 2016 will be the fourth in a row to start in Speedway Euro Championship series. At the inauguration of refreshed formula, „Vacul” had an incredible performance, while defeating Nicki Pedersen in Rzeszów after reaching maximum points. He did it as the first one in history of SEC.
