Race Report
Andreas Myrberg wins the DHI Cup in Denmark with his TC3!
Andreas Myrberg--winner!!
The race
In total there where 56 starting in the modified class and racers where
coming from all over Europe incl. Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Iceland,
Portugal, Norway, Holland, Sweden and of course Denmark. There where
even "Factory Teams" from booth LRP and Orion attending so the
competition was fierce! Qualifying was done in the round-by-round system
so it was crucial that you had an fast car and put in good heats all the
time. The tires where hand-out non-belted Schumacher ones.
Qualifying
It was Swedish TC3 driver Andreas Myrberg that set the pace with an
solid fast series of qualifying rounds. His TC3 car was perfectly dialed
to suit the Danish carpet track. The closest match was Reto Koenig and
Marcus Luebke - booth from Germany.
A-main 1
Andreas Myrberg took the lead from his pole the first 6 laps. Then he
hit a backmarker on the straight so it was an DNF for Andreas. Andy
Kreamer and Reto Koenig fought for first place with Reto coming out on
top 2 seconds in front of Andy. Danish driver Steen Graversen came in at
third place.
A-main 2
Now it was no more room for errors for Andreas if he would have any
chance for a win. He comfortably took the lead and had all the final an
good distance to the rest of the "pack" that was fighting for
the other
podium places. Andy Kraemer, Marcus Luebke and Reto Koenig was fighting
for second place all the final. Andy was quickest of the rest coming in
second place followed by Marcus Luebke and Reto Koenig.
A-main 3
With one win each for Reto and Andreas it could go either way but the
Swedish driver seemed to have the best chance from his pole position.
The start was no problem for the TC3 driver and Andreas took the lead
and never looked back. He easily had the best handling car in the finals
and pulled away all the time. Eventually he could back-off and cruise to
victory 5 seconds in front of Marcus Luebke in second with Reto Koenig
coming in at third place. Big celebrations in the Swedish camp and an
BIG hand for Andreas and his motor-mechanic-dad Anders Myrberg, an well
deserved win!
