Sören Boy Holst wins at Danish Touring Car Nats Rd3

Round 3 of the Danish Touring Car Championships was held at the challenging track in Vejle. The track offers a huge main straight with a banked corner at the end and a technical and challenging infield. After the practice in the SuperStock class it became clear that the race for the win would be on between at least four drivers. The opening qualifier saw a close battle between Frederik Broloes and Soeren Boy Holst with the latter taking the TQ by 0.03 seconds despite a spin in lap 7. The second round was just as close and this time Steven Olsen joined the fun but he made a mistake in lap 8 and also Soeren decided to visit the grass and he opted to end the qualifiers in order to save the tyres for the final round. The round was then won by Frederik. The third qualifier then saw a 3-way battle for the TQ and at the end it was Soeren who grabbed the pole position for the A-mains from Frederik and Steven.
