The weather forecast promised dry conditions but on practice day the drivers had to cope with mixed conditions. In the SuperStock class Søren Boy Holst and Mike Gosvig showed good speed and a slight advantage over the other drivers although a good amount of drivers would be able to win. The race day started with sun, but a damp track due to overnight rain. In the first round the battle was close between Søren and Mike, but after nine laps Søren’s car stopped and he had to retire to save the precious control tyres. Mike relaxed a bit to spare tyres also and won the round ahead of Lars Holm and Christian Lehm.
