Q2 Update – Volker fastest in slower conditions
With the sun coming out for the second round of qualifying, it was Ronald Volker who topped the times on a much slower track. The hotter conditions saw the Yokomo driver top the round from Adrian Bernsten but with a time that was over 4-seconds slower than the Xray drivers Q1 TQ pace. Once again Alexander Hagberg set the third fastest time again ahead of HB’s Andy Moore. Only ninth in opening round, Tamiya’s Marc Rheinard improved to take 5th while his team-mate Viktor Wilck got his speedo issues, that resulted in a non start in Q1, sorted to open his qualifying with a 9th. Sixth fastest in the opening qualifier, Serpent’s Marc Fischer was a non-finisher after he suffered a servo failure.
In the Xray Pro Stock class defending champion Marek Cerny looks on target for three in a row on the island. Backing up his dominant Q1 TQ run over Henrik Heitsch the Czech driver posted another TQ run in Round 2 over team-mate Jan Ratheisky.
