Adrian Berntsen wins Norwegian Indoor series Rd3

The 3rd round of the 2011/2012 Norwegian indoor series was held in Spydeberg last weekend and Adrian Bernsten sent us this report. We saw a 600m2 big track with a pretty techinal layout with lots of low-speed corners as well as the traction was not that high. After testing different tires, the tires to be used were Sorex 28. On Saturday we had a practice race before the “real race” on Sunday. This is to get enough practice and lot of traction in the carpet. This race was won by me, in front of Petter Berntsen and Oyvind Stusdal in 3rd.
