Saturday morning saw the track fill up with drivers keen to get in some practice. The circuit had been treated with sugar water, which meant it had fantastic grip right from the first lap. It quickly became clear that the lap record from last year would not stand for long. At 4:00PM, practice started in groups and the lap times were recorded.
Afterwards, the circuit was opened again for free practice until 6:00PM.

Sunday began with weather that equaled Saturday’s… brilliant sunshine. Practice in group order started at 9:15AM followed by the three qualifying rounds before midday.
After lunch came the quarter-final followed by the semi-final. The semi-finals resulted in the following drivers joining the four direct qualifiers for the main final: Martin Wenger, Giacomo Moretti, Giovanni Bonetti, Donato Larocco, Marco Reiser and Monika Ackermann.
I would like to thank the Langenthal Racing Club for the brilliantly-organized event. Thanks also to my mechanic Guido for the quick fuel stops and his help over the entire weekend, and of course to HUDY, XRAY, T&M Models for their support.
