Adrian Berntsen wins at ’13 Norwegian Outdoor Series

The fourth and final round of the Norwegian national outdoor series was held at the Sorlihavna race track in Lorenskog, just outside of Oslo. The race saw a record entry of drivers with 27 drivers attending in the 1/10 touring modified class which is more than at any other race this season. The Sorlihavna racetrack is a pretty small and technical track which suits the modified-class perfectly but as Q1 started, many drivers struggled to finish their 5 minute heats without troubles. The only driver to finish his race without issues was Xray driver Oskar Fjeld who actually had his fastest overall qualifier in Q1. Adrian Berntsen held the runner-up spot despite a body tuck during the run.
