Soeren Boy Holst wins at Danish Touring Car Nats Rd3

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.

Awesomatix RFG rear floating gearbox set

Coming from the mind of Awesomatix’ Josh Cyrul is the RFG rear floating gearbox set for the A700 touring car. Designed for the use with the MM2 motor mount in flex mode 4 the system further reduces the unwanted torque steer effect caused by the longitudinal motor position as it does the FFG system up front. The set can be run with the C24 top deck and even without, in case more flex is needed.
