Wohlgemuth again in Q2
Daniel Wohlgemuth claimed his second TQ run of the day in Pro Stock taking his LRP powered Hot Bodies around the long technical track here in Hrotovice in a new fastest time of 16 laps in 5:14.837. The German again made a mistake when he caught a dot and rolled coming on the main straight which cost him 2 seconds. Running harder spring for Q2 the car felt better and he plans to leave it the same for his next run focusing instead on producing an incident free run.
Second fastest was local driver Jiri Mara. Driving an Xray T3, Mara is more used to racing off road here in his home country but put in an impressive run outpacing some of Europe’s top Pro Stock drivers. With nerves getting the better of him in the opening qualifier, in which he ended up 4th, the 17-year-old said he was more relaxed in Q2 and running the same set-up on his T3 he was able to produce the better time. Third fastest was Serpent driver Martin Schmidt. The German’s S400 was working a lot better after a number of set-up change between runs allowed him to reduce his time by 3-seconds.
Alexander Stocker could only manage fourth after he made a number of mistakes. The Pro Stock ace said he needs to stay clear of the dots and keep the car rubber side down. Champion Balint Raijiki managed his first 16 lap run but the Hungarian is still someway of the pace of Wohlgemuth. Czech driver Jakub Plechac completed the Top 3 at the controls of his Hot Bodies.
