Kobbevik wins Springcup 2023 Rnd 3 at Stoa Raceway

The third round of the 5 round Springcup 2023 in Arendal, Norway, took place over the weekend with Daniel Kobbevik taking his second win of the championship having won the previous round.  Issues in Q1 and Q3 the factory Schumacher driver started from 4th on the grid in the A-mains but it took just one lap for Kobbevik to take his LRP powered Schumacher LD2 to the front for the rest of the final with A2 and repeat of A1.  With the overall win decided it was up to the rest of the field to fight for the two last places on podium in A3, and it was a thriller with 4 drivers, Daniel Tonnesen, Halvor Gran, Bastian Andreassen and Mats Isaksen, in contention for second place.  Unfortunately Tonnesen was out early with some electronic problems, Bastian also made a mistake in the start, and that gave Halvor the chance to go away, they were almost on the same speed all the time, but Bastian started to catch up in the end, but a small mistake handed the control over to Halvor and he could secure the second place.  That gave Bastian Andreassen the third place on podium.
