The Perfect Kiss for Norbert at the Ring

Hungarian driver Norbert Kiss (Revesz Racing) produced a peerless performance in Slovakia this weekend, dominating both in the wet on Saturday and in drier conditions on Sunday throughout qualifying, both Super Poles and the four races held over the two days of racing. In his Man truck, Kiss showed no signs of weakness, even when he had to fight his way through the field during the two races held with a reverse order starting grid. Behind the irrepressible Hungarian, the fight for the podium places was a lot closer. Antonio Albacete (Team T Sport Bernau) had the final say in Race 1, finishing ahead of Sascha Lenz (SL Apollo Tyres Trucksport).

However, Lenz retaliated in Race 3 beating the Spanish driver to claim second place. German drivers Jochen Hahn and André Kursim took turns to finish second and third in Races 2 and 4. The Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship competitors have a short two-week break from racing to prepare for the third round of the season at the Poznan racetrack in Poland (24-25 June).
