Soren Boy Holst wins Danish SuperStock title

Soren Boy Holst wins Danish National Championships

The final round of the Danish Electric On-Road Nationals was held on the outdoor asphalt track in Odense, the city famous for HC Andersen and the DHI-Cup. The battle for the Danish Touring Car SuperStock Championship was wide open going into the final round as four drivers could take the title. To spice things up even more, five fast drivers from German attended the race as well. The weather during Saturday’s practice was perfect, but the prediction for Sunday was a little bit more risky. Usually the first round of qualifying is great for everyone due to new tires, but on the low to medium grip track the Sorex tires seemed to be better the second time out.

Due to weather conditions early on in the year round 3 of the Irish 1/8th Off-road Nationals had been washed out so the rerun filled the reserve date. The weather was quiet a different story this time with 20 degree Celsius and the sun blazing over the CRCCC’s very fast and flowing European style track where any small mistakes punish big time. Qualification was nip and tuck with four drivers swapping places, Gary Baird, Alan Scroggie, Barkley Abernethy and Andrew McClean. Ultimately Scroggie was to take TQ on a tie by 1 second on the final run.
