The Last big Pro10 Race is in the books. The German Nationals hosted by the EVMC Club/Velp in the Netherlands (with German licence).
Unfortunally the weather wans´t the best. Only the practise and the first round of qualification were dry. Rest of the event was from damp to heavy wet including the finals.
In the Modified class the event saw in 5 rounds of qualification 5 different TQ runs. From the VIP Team, Tobias Weist secured a TQ run and lost the overall TQ in Tie Break by only 1,2 Seconds. Patrick Vannieuwenhyse and Christian Fischer took also a TQ run and found himself in 4th and 7th position, whyle reigning Champion Timo Schad took his car 5th on the grid. Former 40+ Champion Joachim Behnken also in the mix with 6th on the grid.
In total 5 of 10 A-Main Drivers were from the VIP Team!
In the popular Stock class Vice Champion Rainer Schad 5th on the grid for the finals whyle Dirk Elsebusch found himself by his first Pro10 year also in the A Main on 8th on the grid in front of Roy Pie in his first race after long time.
Further we are very proud of our youngest driver – Florian Kölsch. Last year at his hometrack he raced at the Nationals his first race and this year in this very tricky conditions he snatched the last A Main spot and defend his young German Nationals Title early!
The Finals went so and so. In heavy rain our Modified Drivers gambled with Tires. Patrick Vannieuwenhyse lost in Tie Break with 2nd and 4th in the finals the 3rd Podium spot. Tobias Weist found only after 8th and 10th in the finals the right Tire Choice in the last final with a 2nd place overall 6th in front of now former Champion Timo Schad. Christian Fischer and Joachim Behnken 9th and 10th.
In the stock class Rainer could improve his starting grid to 3rd overall and became 40+ Vice German Champion.
Dirk Elsebusch didn´t run in the rain and ended 10th. Roy Pie worked his way to the front and with 2 times 3rd place he ended 4th overall and 3rd overall for the 40+ Championship!
Florian Kölsch ran his best ever race and ended with 4th and 6th in the finals 6th overall!! Found for this only 2 words: well done!!
