The Norwegian Cup race was held this past weekend at the upgraded facility in Lørenskog. This was a 2 day event with 3 qualifiers on Saturday and 3 mains on Sunday, so there was plenty of time to wrench and just enjoy a nice weekend with fellow racers. In the mod touring class Olav Dahle ended up taking the TQ honours ahead of Nikko Haheim and Helge Johannessen in 3rd. In A1 Nikko put Olav under immense pressure from the very beginning and after a few laps he opened a gap Nikko was trough. From there he could bring the car to the line some 6 seconds ahead of Mathias Nedrebo who came in 2nd, followed by Oyvind Stusdal. In A2 Haheim made a better start and managed to out drag Olav down the main straight and take the lead. From there he could control the gap back to Helge who came in 2nd, the result enough to secure the overall race win, and with it the Norwegian Cup title. With Nikko sitting out A3 Helge would go on to win the last main securing 2nd for the race with Mathias Nedrebo able to claim 3rd overall.
