In their first attempt by taking 1st and 2nd place in the V-WTCC semi-finals in Brno our simracers Nils and Danny strengthen their claim to play a significant role in Monza finals and took a ride with Félix Porteiro on the Racetrack.

On Saturday morning the cockpits were set up and the first warm-up was driven. In the afternoon the car classes (BMW, Seat, Honda, Chevloret) were split into two grids with seven drivers each. Nils 'n1lyn' Naujoks raced in grid A, Danny 'HuskY' Engels in B.

While Nils got an easy victory with positioning himself 1st and 2nd in the two races, husky had a hard time in the second race after finishing first in the
race before.

The reversed result from the first race is the starting order for the second, so 1st place means starting 8th. But he managed to fight through the field and earned 4th place and another 5 points added to the 10 from the first race.

So 15 points for him which were enough to get under the top 4 out of his grid, who compete against the best four from grid A. The following final race of the event had a new qualifying, and already after the first flying lap, Nils and Danny took the pole- and 2nd position. 7 Laps to go in the race afterwards, which doesn't sound much, but can be hard work as well.

Nils pulled away from the field second by second, while Danny again had to struggle with the grip on the cold track (nearly 0°C). With all his experience, a lot of concentration and the definitive will to get into the finals he hold the opponents back and also got a little gap between him and the third placed driver in the end.

Afterwards the three podium drivers were given little prizes and a small bottle of champagne to splash over each other! BMW race driver Félix Porteiro took them on a lap on the edge of grip around the Brno racetrack afterwards.

Some qualifying events are left, where our drivers Vincent 'Vincent_Staal' Staal and Joeroen 'Jeronimo23' van den Berg will also try to qualify for the grand final in Monza in October this year where they have the chance to take home a brand new Chevrolet HHR and several thousand Euro of prize money!
