First for Foust, Pole for Enerberg

American claimed his first ever fastest ERC heat time.

For the first time in his short ERC career, Tanner Foust was fastest in an ERC heat this morning. In the second runs he beat Liam Doran and Stig-Olov Walfridsson off the line, jokered in the first lap and picked off his fellow competitors as the race went on. Second fastest, ahead of Doran in the timetable was Timur Timerzyanov who had a clean race ahead of the battling Frode Holte and Andréas Eriksson.

Marc Laboulle had an unusually scruffy race, while Andy Scott stalled on the line. René Münnich picked up a puncture but finished his race, albeit with 16th and last place on the time sheets.

Fastest over the line in Super1600 was Andreas Bakkerud, but he committed the ultimate sin of Rallycross and forgot the joker lap, thus incurring a 30 second penalty and finding himself with 17th and last time. Zdeněk Čermák followed Bakkerud over the line, so inherited fastest time, ahead of the hard charging Ulrik Linnemann. Johan Larsson had again been fastest in warmup, but again was out-raced in his heat to end up fifth. The only causality was Mattias Thörjesson who was beating the Renault Twingo of Ildar Rakhmatullin hands down until technical problems slowed him to a crawl.

Lars Øivind Enerberg takes pole position in TouringCar, after setting another fastest time. Derek Tohill’s team made big changes to the car overnight but the Irishman isn’t having a great weekend, he made a mistake in the first corner that allowed David Nordgård past while Koen Pauwels jokered, the Irish driver then held up until he found a way past the Norwegian on lap three. Roman Častoral put in another good time, following Enerberg over the line after a clean race.
