settle for third place.
However, Kristoffersson was declared the
race winner after Haglöf and Morin were
excluded; this also promoted Wernersson
and Tobias Brink to second and third
respectively.
In Race 2, Åhlin-Kottulinsky started
from pole position and was then never
threatened, becoming the first lady
driver to win a race in a major TCR
series. Behind her, the fast-starting
Andersson passed Oliver Söderström but
was then unable to threaten for the
lead, with Åhlin-Kottulinksy pulling
away.
On lap 3, Fredrik Ekblom ran wide and
dropped from 4th to 18th place,
allowing Kristoffersson to move up to
4th and Wernersson to 5th. The pair
soon passed Söderström for 3rd and 4th
places respectively.
