Homola makes it double win

11.05.14

It was a triumphant home round for Mat’o Homola as the Slovak took victory also in Race 2. This time too he had to fight hard to take the lead, after an intense fight with Mikhail Grachev, the early leader, and Petr Fulín, who won the TC2 class ahead of Norbert Kiss and Peter Rikli.

In the TC2T class, Igor Skuz took third behind Homola and Grachev, following a mistake of Nikolay Karamyshev in the last lap.

In SMT, it was a replica of the scenario of Race 1, with Andreas Pfister imposing himself since scratch, with Dmitri Bragin and Sergey Ryabov again taking the other spots on the podium.

In S1600, it was again a duel between Ulrike Krafft and Gilles Bruckner, with the Luxembourg driver able this time to take the lead at the start, but only for a couple of laps, before the German lady took over again.
