| Race report by Mike Gosvig |
|
Danish national round 2 was held in Tollose, the race should have been a combination with the Nordic championships but there was not 3 of the Nordic countries attending to the race, so it was not possible. Race was on their fast outdoor track with a lot of 180 degrees corners, and traction was a little bit of sliding and understeering all weekend! My cars were super good, but understeering, so I tried ARS on the cars, and was much better!

In the superstock class I could take the overall TQ in front of local man Frederik Brol?s after a close first qualy only 3/100 of a second behind me. Frederik won the 2nd round only 4 tenth in front of me, so for the last round I changed my car, and finally I could pull a little more gap to Frederik, but I lost a little in the end because of lapped drivers, so I was a half second in front to take the overall TQ.
My Team mate Steven Olsen was behind me around 3-5 seconds and he could grab the 3rd spot, really nice job! Also Casper Morgen and Patrick Danielsen made good runs to go to the A-main.
Jeppe Svendsen also took the win in the B-main! Good job, Jeppe!
Stadings after Qualy:
1. Mike Gosvig - XRAY T4 - TQ
2. Frederik Brolos
3. Steven Olsen - XRAY T4
4. Stefan Finnich
5. Kevin Nielsen
6. Soren Boy Holst
7. Casper Morgen - XRAY T4
8. Patrick Danielsen - XRAY T4
In the finals the grip was even worse and super understeering, but my car felt good. It was super close first main with Frederik, it was a tough task to keep him behind on the straight as his well powered seemed to have much more power compare to mine. But I took the win with 3 tenths gap. Patrick Danielsen made an awesome job to go to 3rd in this main!
The second main I made a little better start to pull away and Fredrik got accompanied by Steven! Later in this main Fredrik could pull away from Steven and I won the main with 7 tenth! Steven was in 3rdplace this time. I tried a different setup in the last main, just to test, but the car was not better with this, but I still won the main with Frederik behind me.

In the modified class my car also felt awesome. But unfortunately I had electronic problems in the qualys were I lost around 5-7 second incouple of rounds but I still could line up 3rd on the grid, and I solved the problems for the main - so that was positive!
But Patrick Folman took the first 2 TQ's in the qualys, and when I was leading round 2 I ran into the problems again, and the same in the 3rd round. Nicolai Lindegaard got the 2nd place after qualy.
Standings for mains:
1. Patrick Folman TQ
2. Nicolai Lindegaard
3. Mike Gosvig - XRAY T4
4. Frederik Hovgaard
5. Rasmus Callesen
6. Johnni Andersen
7. Mike Hansen - Durango
8. Micheal Ivo - XRAY T4
In each final run I took the 2 place after passing Lindegaard, and then I tried to catch Folman, but he was already too far ahead. So in the end I took 2nd place but I was happy with that considering the problems with electronics during the race.
