Rheinard & Bergfeldt DHI Cup Champions

He’s a two time World Champion, twice European Champion and now he is a two time champion of the race which kicks of each new season of international touring car action – the DHI Cup.  Holder of the title in 2006, the Tamiya Racing Factory driver took the win over Top Qualifier Alexander Hagberg with Teemu Leino completing the podium at the 9th edition of the famous Danish race. In Pro Stock it was Tommy Bergfeldt who was the very deserving 2009 DHI Cup Champion.  The Hot Bodies driver dominated qualifying to take the TQ honours from where he continued his reign, the only glitch of the perfect weekend being a problem which was outside of his control.  A motor problem messing up his Leg 2 race.

Hagberg converts it in DHI Leg 2

After a rocky opening Leg Alexander Hagberg converted his TQ into victory which will take the 2009 DHI Cup title down to the final Leg.  A far more relaxed Hagberg fended off an early challenge from Leg 1 winner Marc Rheinard but the German made a mistake giving the Swede the break he needed. Teemu Leino completed the Top 3.

Hagberg clinches DHI Cup TQ

Your first big international race TQ is always going to be something special but when you fend off the might of a double World Champion the occassion is even greater.  For Sweden’s Alexander Hagberg the DHI Cup marks such an achievement as he topped the final round of heats to secure the Top Qualifier’s spot on the grid from Marc Rheinard for tomorrow’s 9th edition of the famous Danish race.  Making it a Swedish double in qualifying, Tommy Bergfeldt claimed TQ honours in the Pro Stock division topping the time sheets with his Hot Bodies in 4 of the 5 qualifying rounds.

Leino sets DHI Rd2 Qualifying pace

He was the Top Qualifier here in Denmark last year and after the second round of qualifying for the 2009 DHI Cup Teemu Leino is now the fastest man after just pipping team-mate & Round 1 pace setter Alexander Hagberg by 1/100th of a second.  The flying Finn clocked up 21 laps in 307.20 after putting in a clean run.  Leino said his car is good but getting a clean run is very difficult due to the inconsistency of the track surface, something which all the drivers are having to battle with here this weekend.
