Rain was predicted during the night so when we arrived at the track on Sunday morning the track was damped and the temperature dropped to 16 degrees. So it was the choice to set a pace with a wet set up or wait for the track to dry and use the Saturday setup. Many drivers choose to only change the tyres and anti roll bars to adapt to the damp track.
During the qualifications the track became dry and quicker and laptimes went down. It was Jordy Velder who was the fastest and earned the 2 extra polepositon points. After semi-finals Jarno was able to go to finals. He already secured the last race the Hobby class title but was on the hunt for the impossible to become Sportsman class champion too. Knowing the current standings many where calculating what could happen. We advised him to stay calm and relaxed and just hit the track and see what was possible in the 30 minutes race.
