Foust fastest as times fall

Linnemann and Enerberg fastest in the classes.

Race times fell as the third heat progressed, Andréas Eriksson going fastest in the penultimate race and then losing the spot to team mate Tanner Foust who knock 0.8s off the boss’s best to be fastest and join Sverre Isachsen on the front row of the grid. Eriksson shares row two with Toomas Heikkinen, the rejuvenated Ludvig Hunsbedt last direct qualifier.

The B final too looks like being a tough one: the front row occupied by the Helmia Renaults of Mats Lysen and Stig-Olov Walfridsson, Kenneth Hansen and Morten Bermingrud on row two and Liam Doran squeezing in at the back having redeemed himself for his second heat faux pas with third fastest time in the last heat. Championship leader Timur Timerzyanov looks unlikely to maintain his record of starting in every A final, the Russian on the back row of the C final with Frode Holte after retiring from the third heat following a first corner crash. Davy Jeanney and Andy Scott share the front row, René Münnich and Jean-Luc Pailler in the middle of the grid.

When Michaël De Keersmaecker went off the road in the first race of the Supercar heat his retiremet spelled the end of any hopes for a D final in the class.

The battle to join Krzysztof Skorupski on the front row of the Super1600 A final was won by Ulrik Linnemann, the Dane in good form again here and setting fastest time in the third heat. Andreas Bakkerud survived a first corner clash with Jaroslav Kalný and makes it to the A final in fifth place, Johan Larsson and David Johansson between him and the front row.

Lars Øivind Enerberg again drove the third heat despite there being nothing to gain, and once again set fastest time. Roman Častoral joins him on the front row of the grid despite non-finishing the third heat and Ole Håbjørg recovered from his second heat problems to be second fastest and qualify fourth, sharing row two with Anton Marklund. Per Magne Røyrås is the last direct qualifier, Derek Tohill again starting from pole in the B final.
