Q2 Update – Pietsch Again

Robert Pietsch backed up his Q1 performance with a second TQ run in the second round of qualifying at Kirchberg. Running a slightly slower time in both 1:10 and 1:8, the German said his slower 1:8 time was down to running his tyres for a second time but that the 1:10 while a 13 lap run was very close to the time of his 14 lap opening run, him missing 14 laps by .961 of a second. Capricorn’s Eric Dankel was second fastest in Touring Car with Jilles Groskamp third despite losing part of his brake linkage in the closing laps of the run which left him without brakes. The round saw problems for Xray’s Dirk Wischnewski who suffered an engine failure on the opening lap and Serpent’s Dominic Greiner threw away a strong run when he made a mistake on lap 11 which cost him over 3-seconds.
