Race report by Daniel Horn
We arrived at the track on Wednesday afternoon. It is a fast nitro track and the speed on the straight with a 13.5T Motor was 88 kph! The weather forecast looked bad for the two practice days but the track was dry so we could make our practice laps.

The car was pretty good right from the beginning but was a little bit difficult to drive. As such I only made small set-up changes. After the last practice I completely rebuilt my car for the first Final.



Saturday morning qualifiers started at 10AM. The car was simply perfect… easy to drive fast on the straight, and laptimes were fast without pushing. It was SMI Team Driver Daniel Horn who won the first two rounds of qualifying. Qualifier round 3 was won by Kevin Blume, while round 4 was won by Peter Strein.

On Sunday morning we arrived to a wet track because it rained overnight. But for the first Final of Stock class the track was dry. Daniel Horn easily won the first Final because there were a lot of crashes behind him.

Before the start of the second Final, another car crashed into the car of Daniel Horn which was already waiting on the grid. But the car was not damaged but after the start in the second corner Kevin Blume passed Daniel because his car was tweaked.

Kevin led the race by about 3 seconds ahead of Daniel and Oliver Franke. With only 2 minutes to go, Kevin made a mistake in the low-speed part of the track (called ‶Little Monte Carlo※ by local drivers) and Daniel passed him. Kevin was pushing Daniel during the last few minutes but could not pass him so Daniel won the race after only two Finals.

The third Final was again an easy start-to-finish win for Daniel Horn followed by Kevin Blume and Anton Sobota.
