RB Challenge Norway Rd1 – Report

The first race of the six round RB Challenge in Norway was run with 62 drivers attending. The series is run on RB tyres and sees the nine fastest drivers from qualifying proceeding to the final with two drivers from the B-final as bump-ups. The TQ went to Bjorn Ivar Haug (Xray) and once the 40 minute final took off it was clear that the race was on between Bjorn Ivar and Team Associated driver Daniel Kobbevik with both drivers quickly pulling away from the field. 10 minutes into the race and Bjorn made a small mistake allowing Daniel to pass but Bjorn Ivar fought back eventually taking the lead again. Later on Daniel ran into trouble which resulted in three extra pit stops allowing Bjorn to cruise to the win. Daniel Kobbevik finally managed to grab the runner-up spot, Rune Karlsen (Xray) completed the podium.
