A1 – Kobbevik brings the heat but Zalewski stays as cold as ice!
The first 4WD Modified Buggy A-Main saw Schumacher`s Daniel Kobbevik finding his way around his teammate Michal Orlowski in the first lap of the race. Bartosz Zalewski was leading from the pole posoition but Kobbevik was able to create a lot of pressure on Zalewski`s Xray buggy in the following laps and the first three minutes of the race.
However, Zalewski did not make a single mistake and after Kobbevik lost a bit of ground in the last minute of A1, Zalewski was able to bring home the win in the first final by an advantage of 0.9 seconds over Daniel Kobbevik, Michal Orlowski, Burak Kilic, and David Ronnefalk.
A2 – Zalewski seals the deal and wins the second final ahead of a very fast Orlowski
A-Main number two saw Xray`s TQ driver Bartosz Zalewski laying down another poerfect run onto the huge dirt track of the HUDY ARENA. After it was Daniel Kobbevik who chased Zalewski down in the first final, Michal Orlowski was the hardest competitor for Zalewski in the second leg.
Both drivers posted the first 29-second laptimes of the whole wekeend and it was great to see their perfection on track. Orlowski was driving very agressive and fast, but Zalewski was able to win A2 with the advantage of 0.5 seconds under the applause of the audience below the driver stand. Kobbevik, Ronnefalk, and Kilic finished behind them in the top five again.
A3 – Orlowski wins A3 to secure second overall ahead of Kobbevik and Kilic
In the last A-Main, the remaining podium positions had been up for grabs and we saw Michal Orlowski, Daniel Kobbevik, Burak Kilic, and David Ronnefalk going for it. The two Schumacher drivers were putting on a great show for the entire five minutes. They checked out from the rest of the field and Kobbevik was pushing like hell behind Orlowski who somehow managed to bring home the win and the overall P2 ahead of Kobbevik. Burak Kilic finished A3 in third spot after a hard battle with David Ronnefalk.
