VLN wins for Møller Bil Motorsport
and Mathilda Racing
TCR class victories in the seventh and eighth rounds of
the VLN series went to Møller Bil Motorsport and
Mathilda Racing.
In the 58. ADAC Reinoldus Langstreckenrennen, the
Audi RS3 LMS of the Norwegian team, driven by the
regular trio of Håkon Schjærin, Kenneth Østvold and
Atle Gulbrandsen, set pole position with a lap of
8:42.980 that placed them 28th on the starting grid
and then covered 26 laps of the Nürburgring
Nordschleife to be classified 25th overall out of the 149
starters in the four-hour race.
Second and third in the class were two CUPRA cars: that
of Mathilda Racing of Andreas Gülden and Heiko
Hammel and the FEV Racing car of Benedikt Gentgen
and Bernd Hömberg.
Two weeks later in the 50. ADAC Barbarossapreis,
Gülden and Hammel were victorious in the Mathilda
Racing CUPRA. They finished 23rd overall out of the 142
starters and beat by four minutes the Lubner
Motorsport Opel Astra that regular drivers Thomas Jäger
and Thorsten Wolter shared with TCR Germany’s Jasmin
Preisig.
The FEV Racing CUPRA that Gentgen shared with Martin
Pischinger finished in third position once again.
The ninth and final round of the series – the 43. DMV
Müsterlandpokal – will take place on October 20.
