SLOVAKIARING - MAIDEN WIN
FOR KOU
Ř
IL AND HYUNDAI
After dominating Qualifying in which
he set pole position with a 1.6-second
margin over
Č
ížek and Galáš, Vesni
č
took a comfortable lights-to-flag
victory in Race 1. At the start, Martin
Ryba moved into second from fifth on
the grid, ahead of Wyszomirski, Galáš,
Kou
ř
il and
Č
ížek. But soon Galáš
advanced, passing Wyszomirski for
third on lap 2 and Ryba for second on
lap 3. Kou
ř
il overtook Wyszomirski for
fourth on lap 5 and began to close the
gap from Ryba. They were fighting for
third place until a puncture forced
Ryba to retire on lap 8. The positions
didn’t change afterwards, so Vesni
č
won from Galáš and Kou
ř
il.
Pouring rain delayed Race 2 by over an
hour. At the start Ryba dashed into the
lead from third on the grid, while pole
sitter Vesni
č
dropped to fourth behind
Kou
ř
il and Galáš. Ryba’s leadership was
short-lived as he was passed by Kou
ř
il
on lap 4 and then lost two more places
to Vesni
č
and Galáš on the following
lap. In lap 6,
Č
ížek overtook Ryba for
fourth after they made contact; his car
damaged after the collision, Ryba
retired on lap 10. Positions remained
frozen until the end with Kou
ř
il the
winner from Vesni
č
and Galáš.
