Exciting races were offered in Navarra!
Latest in Navarra, in the second round of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship 2013, Jochen Hahn Dared to greater knowledge be that the project title defense could be more severe than expected.
That a triple title is not a walk, the double European champion was of course already clear before the season starts. The third title would be a dream for him - and sometimes one can make dreams come true through hard work.
What does tap into the current season life difficult, are two factors: In the races 1 and 3, that are started after the conclusion of the session, it has to do with the German gained strength opponents mainly from his own camp. This in turn makes it difficult secondly, also in the races 2 and 4, which are carried out with twisted starter box to get very far forward.
It is currently Norbert Kiss, which puts the competition in astonishment. That the young Hungarian is strong, we knew in the race class since its debut. At the moment, Kiss is only itself in the way: He is burning with ambition and has not done with his brutal actions in the two previously discharged rounds of the EURO 2013 many friends. Especially Antonio Albacete is hardly more a fan of Kiss will - in the first two rounds, the two MAN drivers have already come in the way quite a few times. Strange, but in the motorsport discipline Truck Race the actors seem to consistently require some years of apprenticeship before they are matured for "Champion". In Albacete was so, even with Hahn, who was considered a pilot crash in the early years and now operates with an overview and smarts.
In Navarra, in any case, the driver was the # 1 Although two times on the podium (and defended his lead in the overall standings), but others were always on top. For example, Markus Oestreich, the last year in the MKR team could not win a race. In the second use of the MAN Truck Sport Bernau it ran like clockwork. Oese had not delivered the fastest practice lap, but in the race he proved to be unbeatable. He was followed on Sunday by Antonio Albacete, who had had little fortune in the current season to date. He was eliminated on Saturday in Race 1 of Kiss (the aufgebrummt for 30 seconds penalty time arrived) and underlined by winning his ambition to wrest the title of cock. Whether the Spaniard however as in the two previous years, the most persistent competitor of cock will have to still to be determined.
The two reverse grid race went this time to the MKR team - the Renault drivers Lacko (on Saturday) and Bösiger (on Sunday) was the success to treat. "We have taken a small step forward," said team boss Mario Kress after the eventful weekend. Because where the MAN trucks are MKR is far, but at least the gap is closed as far as that Renault can fight for Verfolgerpulk the trendsetting MAN Quartet at the front.
Remarkable: How to Samtpfoten Steffi Halm snuck this weekend in the top ten. The German in the service of the French Lion teams came in all four championship races in the points. A strong performance, Madame Chapeau Steffi!
