During
lunch break Hupo Honigl made a complete rebuild at this Durango car with
bringing more weight to the front, because he was complaining the whole
weekend big understeer and surprise in Semi Final A the car was working
perfect and Hupo made new lap record with 36.582 sec and was easily
winning before Dominic Bauer and Thomas Mayr, which had to run around 5
minutes with electronic problems where sometimes his car had no steering
in left corners! Slower Semi final B was won by Patrick Schweinzer
before Rene Kargl and Martin Karner.
Hupo Hönigl
should start from pole position for the 45 minute final, but at revving
up his LRP motor few seconds before the start at his start position the
conrod broke with a big Peng – so Dominic Bauer was easily leading
the final. Thomas Mayr starting from position 6 managed to become second
in lap 3 and was pushing hard to close the gap to Dominic – both
where running at full risk like in qualifying and at first pit stop it
was clear that Dominic had to refuel one time more than Thomas, both
were running so fast that the already lapped the complete field at 25
minutes mark. The lead was only changing during different refuel
strategy but Thomas managed to close the gap more and more and got by
himself into the lead. Both fighting hard but fair for the lead and the
title Dominic had to make his additionally refuel 3 minutes before the
end – and so Thomas was running save for the last minutes and
allowed Dominic to close the gap and became second with 2 seconds back.
