Lets start with the Touringcar Euros.
At the start of the week, the MCD Team work very hard to find the right set up and it was not easy during the changing weather conditions! But in the qualifications, Dario found the speed and managed to be on the 2. Place and this means, he is directly qualified in the main final!
In the quarter finals, Gianmarco Martelli and Sven Rodewald managed to bump up in to the semi finals.
The weather forecast was not good for the semi finals and the team had to prepare the cars for rain conditions. The first semi final starts and Gianmarco was unfornatley not able to bump up in to the main final.
Sven Rodewald start in the second semi final and until the last 3 mins Sven was on the bump up spot but then a lapped driver crash and he loose his bump up spot.
So now in the Main final we had 2 MCD Duox Cars with Dario Veseli and Carsten Keller.
Before the main final starts, the rain stopped. So it was gambling which tyre we should use! But Dario make the right choice and he managed after 28 min the second place! During the last 2 minutes, the leader makes a mistake and now it was time for Dario to keep the head cool and driving to the finish line! And he did! The MCD Duox and Dario Veseli are European champion!
Carsten Keller takes the 4. Place! Congratulations!
