In the NRW only GRP-tires are allowed. On Saturday, we drove the first qualification l, and I got the first place. On Sunday morning it rain really hard, so the track was very slippery. My second qualification didnâ™t go so well, and because it was raining so hard the race was stopped for an hour. Thanks to this we skipped the 3th qualification.

Because I did well on Saturday I took the TQ. In the semi final we made a really bad choice in my car setup since we expected the track to dry up faster. I started on the first place and I finished on the 6th place because of our bad set-up choice. Luckily this was good enough to bump up to the A-main. For the final we changed the diffs, shocks and springs which turned out to be a good decision. The car felt great and was easy to drive. In the A-final I started on the 10th position, I had a good start and after a few laps I was on the 4th spot behind Rayco van der Sluis. We were fighting for the 3th place but I made a mistake and I was far behind. After 15 minutes I was back at his tail and we were battling for the 3th spot. I passed him and after that Rayco had bad luck. So I had a huge gap between me and the 4th place and P2 driver Sander. The last 5 minutes I was just driving to the end.

It was a great race and I finished on the 3rd place, and had also the fastest lap in the A-main. My XB8 with FX engine was great, unfortunately my choice for the semi cost me a better result.
