Sunday at the Nürburgring Part 3 - Second victory for Kiss

Nürburgring - The conclusion of Race 4 brought the 34th Truck Grand Prix to a successful close. It was a monster weekend of motorsport and much, much more for the 124,000 fans that flocked to the Nürburgring under the pleasant midsummer sun.

The truck racers themselves had no such difficulty – they were fully awake and alert for the warm-up, which tankpool24 Racing’s Norbert Kiss (HUN) topped, no sweat, with 1:55.476. But home hero Jochen Hahn (Iveco), Czech Adam Lacko (Buggyra Freightliner), and MAN pilot Antonio Albacete (ESP) all came close, within fractions of a second. A sign of things to come in Q2?..
