The first round of the Austrian Electric On-road Nationals was held at the beautiful track of 1. MRC Wiener Neustadt in Lower Austria. Unfortunately due to bad weather conditions the race had to be stopped during the second leg of the Touring Car Modified class.
In Touring Car Stock there was a close race between JĂĽrgen Horn and Martin Szunyogh. Whilst Q1 to Q3 brought JĂĽrgen a solid TQ, Martin set the fastest qualification time in Q4. Obviously Martinâ™s car seemed to perform better as the track temperature increased. Third on the grid was last yearâ™s vice champion Christian Schiff. In the finals the weather was getting colder and so it was JĂĽrgen Horn who dominated the mains and he took an easy win followed by Martin Szunyogh and JĂĽrgen Linsberger, who managed to grab 3rd position starting from 6th on the grid.
