Driving a Praga chassis as were all his opponents in DD2 Masters, Cristiano Morgado (RSA) was installed immediately in front of the odd session ahead of Derek Wang (USA) and Rene Martinelli (USA). Tamsin Germain (GBR) then took second position from Martin Victorsson (SWE). Morgado enhanced his status to below 55” and continued to improve over the laps. This didn’t stop Wang from challenging him an instant star and then he stayed in his wake. Scott Campbell (CAN) appeared in fourth position. Morgan Hipp (FRA) was 13th. As we approached the end, Victorsson was still third, Tiago Ribeiro (POR) went 4th ahead of Javier Campo (ESP). Hipp was ranked 17th. Morgado finished with a time of 54” 814, 8/100 ahead of Wang, and the following drivers were 3/10 behind.
The situation was slow to settle in the even session. Thomas Schumacher (GER) held the lead until Alan Rudolph (USA) made the difference into the 55” ahead of Fernando Guzzi (BRA) after 6 minutes. Michael Dauphin (FRA) mixed in the fight in 2nd position, while Rudolph was widening the gap. Christopher Adams (FRA) advanced to 8th, Guillaume Berteaux (FRA) was 10th, Marc Berteaux (FRA) 21st. Adam Hunter (AUS) moved into third position, Dauphin improved to 2nd place, and Adams advanced to fourth from Guzzi. Martin Pierce (IRL) made the utmost effort to take third position ahead of Hunter and Stuart Clark (CAN). Adams finished 7th, Guillaume Berteaux 14th, and Marc Berteaux 16th.
Pole was the property of Alan Rudolph in 54” 693, closely followed by Michael Dauphin, Cristiano Morgado third then Wang, Pierce 5th, Hunter 6th, Clark 7th, Guzzi 8th, Victorsson 9th and Ribeiro 10th.
