He was short of Kaufmann for just under one and a half second, half a second behind came Frank Hoeschler (Xray) in third place. In the three finals, however, Kaufmann was left…

With the jumps and features laid out in a manner that challenged drivers, it wasn’t an easy track to get around going 100 precent. However, cruise around at 80 percent, it was very easy.

The jumps were quite easy, which promoted close racing and many laps of battling on the track that ultimately made…
