Last weekend, 17/18 May, the first round of Nitro West Masters was held in Oberhausen. The weather forecast was always about 20 degrees Celsius. On Saturday we had a lot of practice time and we find a good set up for the car.
On Sunday after 3 rounds of qualification the standings were:
1. Frank Schewiola 2. Tobias Hepp - RX8
3. Karl-Heinz Meister
4. Christian Wurst
5. Ralf Vahrenkamp
6. Rheinard Zick
7. Hans-Peter Holl
8. Ingo Odenthal
9. Christoph Loose 10. Uwe Baldes - RX8
At the start of the final I was able to maintain my second position and was able to stay tuned to Frank. After the first pit stop, I have taken the lead and have expanded them from there. So I had a comfortable lead until the end by 2 laps.
Final Result:
1. Tobias Hepp − RX8
2. Christian wurst
3. Frank Schewiola
4. Ralf Vahrenkamp
5. Christoph Loose
6. Rheinard Zick
