Cockerill is 2WD Top Qualifier at DHI Cup

After a poor first day of qualifying at the DHI Cup, former Champion Tom Cockerill turned things around today to claim his first overall TQ at the Danish event.  A DNF in Q1 and only 5th in Q2, the Yokomo driver upped his game for the final two qualifiers to snatch the pole position for the A-Main from early dominator Michal Orlowski.  Matching Orlowski’s two TQ runs it was Cockerill’s times that would give the British driver the tie breaker to claim the honour of Top Qualifier in this the fifth year offroad has been part of the DHI Cup.

Viljami closes gap but it's Volker again in Q2

Viljami Kutvonen reduced his deficit by half to record a P2 in the second round of qualifying at the DHI Cup this morning.  As in last night’s opening qualifier, the Awesomatix driver again set the fastest lap finishing just 0.452 of a second off defending champion Ronald Volker.  With track conditions proving fastest on Day 2 of the event, having TQ’d the first qualifier Volker would improve on that time by 3-seconds.  After a slow start to the event yesterday, Bruno Coelho would post a Top 3 run finishing just ahead of Xray team-mate Alexander Hagberg, but with both drivers making mistakes the gap was a considerable 6-seconds.

Cockerill comes good in Q3

Cockerill comes good in Q3

Former Champion Tom Cockerill finally came good in the third round of 2WD Buggy Qualifying at the DHI Cup, the Yokomo driver denying another former Champion, Joern Neumann, his first TQ run of the event on the final lap. Having taken both qualifiers at the Odense event yesterday, Michal Orlowski looked like he was about to seal the overall TQ early but a last lap error allowed Neumann to jump to the top of the timing screen.  It was to be short lived however as Cockerill, who started from the back of the 10-car heat after a tough first day of qualifying, went fastest by 0.081 of a second.
