The first round of the Danish electric on-road nationals was held at the LFRC club in Nykobing Falster, around 130 kilometres away from Copenhagen. The track is a little bit bumpy, but it was the same issue for all drivers and in the Touring Car Modified class it was Stefan Finnich who was able to make the best out of the track conditions. Lars Holm made a good pressure on Stefan, but Stefan drove very cold, and kept Lars behind him. Gustav Pind just started and will be very fast one day.
