Isachsen, Skorupski and Enerberg fastest again.

As yesterday, Sverre Isachsen is very nearly a second a lap faster than his opponents and appears to be cruising to victory in the Swedish round of the European Rallycross Championship. Fastest time in the second heat was, for a long time, held by Stig-Olov Walfridsson, yesterday’s retirement winning the first race of the heat. His 3m13.49s best stood as fastest until the last race in the heat when Isachsen sailed away from Kenneth Hansen, took  a clear win and knocked three-seconds off Walfridsson’s benchmark. Behind Isachsen it was much closer, Andréas Eriksson and Tanner Foust fourth and third, the latter gifted a race win after Liam Doran forgot to take the Joker Lap – a 30-second penalty leaving him 26th in the heat and 17th after two heats – and at present there are not sufficient qualifiers to require a D final. Of Note, Marc Laboulle crashed out of his race and Frode Holte retired from the Doran/Foust race when the engine in his Volvo expired in the last lap.

Continuing where he left off yesterday, Krzysztof Skorupski was again fastest among the Super1600 field, exactly a second up on Ulrik Linnemann in a set of races that delivered some good close racing and remarkably little in the way of incident. Robin Bakke Andresen slid off in the first corner of his race, but that was about it. While Skorupski has secured pole for the Super1600 A final, the TouringCar pole is once again the property of Lars Øivind Enerberg who was beaten to the first corner, immediately ducked into the Joker Lap and then stabbed in a series of perfect laps, rising to the front of the pack and taking another race win, fastest time and pole. Roman Častoral’s good run here continued with second ahead of Anton Marklund while Derek Tohill made up for Saturday’s disappointment with fourth place. Henning Nyberg non finished after a first lap bumper car session and Ole Håbjørg retired with broken suspension on his BMW.
