The fifth round of this year’s Austrian Electric On-road Nationals was held at the LAMAC track in Carinthia last weekend.

Right from the start it was Patrick who set the pace with Dominic and Sascha close behind. It also looked like Patrick would dominate the opening A-main also but in the penultimate lap Patrick’s car lost drive which allows Sascha to close up and eventually take the win while Patrick was lucky enough that the remainder of the drivers weren’t able to make the extra lap. Dominic, also in the mix after the qualifiers, had his own problems as he took the exit on the straight too optimistically.
