Sunday in Zolder Part 1 – Hahn hoists pole for the 11th time this season

Zolder - Early morning this second race day at Zolder the sky was a deep blue, just like yesterday. The timetable here starts later on Sundays because of the mass that is held at a chapel in the infield. The teams, though, weren’t at the service but deep asleep. At the next round in Le Mans they’ll be busy with the warm-up from a quarter past eight; here the trucks’ first outing today was at 10:30.

Sascha Lenz, whose MAN had run flawlessly in free practice yesterday and in the warm-up and in qualifying earlier today, made a beeline for the pits behind the pace truck at the end of the formation lap – he’d apparently noticed a problem with the truck’s electronics. The intrepid young warrior from Weißenthurm would certainly have entertained hopes of ascending the podium.
But there was more of note – polesitter Hahn lost the start sprint to Albacete. The two of them proceeded to pull away from the rest, Lacko trailing in P3 ahead of a Kursim-headed quartet that included Kiss, Reinert, and Halm...
