Altmann & Klier win at German Pro10 Championships

The 26th International German Pro10 Championships were held at the MCC Rhein Ahr club in Bad Breisig over the weekend. A total of 33 drivers from France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Germany attended in the Modified and Stock classes. The event started out on Friday with open practice that, like the first two qualifiers on Saturday, was held in dry conditions. Unfortunately during the third qualifying round of the Stock class the heaven opened its gates and it was decided to run the third round of the Modified class on Sunday morning. Thankfully Sunday started out dry but it was pretty windy but that further helped to dry the track so the event would go ahead as planned. In the Modified class warm-up winner Tim Altmann made a clean sweep to grab the TQ from Patrick Miltat and Kai Altmann.
