Olsen, Linnemann, Nielsen and Jensen winning their respective categories at the Nysumbanen.

Round 5 of the Danish Rallycross Championship took place on August 20 and 21 at the Nysumbanen near Hobro, three weeks after round 4 was held at the Ørnedalsbanen at Sæby. After four consecutive Group N 1600 victories for Kasper Zylauv this time it was his make colleague Karsten Olsen who claimed the victory at Nysum and, thereby, kept his chances for the title chase still open. Both Honda Civic drivers are separated by 15 points currently, the two remaining championship events will be driven in September.

In the Super2000 category there is an even stronger situation for Rasmus Nielsen. The Honda Civic campaigner won all five DKRC rounds so far and has claimed 100 points yet. Seen that only 6 of the 7 rounds of the Danish series count his strongest opponents, Steffen Johansen and Allan Jørgensen, are not able to score a total of over 94 points each any more.

Among the Super1600 competitors ERC regular Ulrik Linnemann was rated as the top favourite, but did not take part in one event while being to the French ERC round and going home from Sæby with a poor 11 points score. However, after his victory at Nysum Linnemann is leading his native championship again, now with 71 points ahead of Jacob Schnoor (66) and Rune Staudt (58).

The title decision of the SuperNationals will be taken between the Volvo campaigners Troels Daarbak and Peder T. Jensen. After the 240 driver grabbed the victory of both, round 4 and 5 he and the S40 pilot currently share the lead of the championship standings, each having collected 74 points so far.
