I had some minor problems in the qualifying rounds and ended up in sixth place , which meant that I would run in the ½ B-Final.

Last weekend first race of this year took place in Munster - one of the traditional tracks in the north of Germany – fast, but also technical. Weather was fine during practise, but forecast also promised some rain for Sunday.
Qualification runs were a battle between Andreas Giesa and Lars Hoppe for the lead. Both were the only ones doing the 21 laps. Saturday’s overnight pole took Hoppe with a 1 second gap on Giesa, who was short on fuel on his last lap in heat 1. Giesa could improve himself on Sunday morning in heat 2 and had a 2 second gap and the lead, but this changed in heat 3 again...

The second Round of the Brazilian Championship took place in the South of Brazil Curitiba this weekend.
My Dad and I were really ill with a flu and we only manage to get to the track on Saturday 2nd May directly for the qualifying, without training.
Last time I had being to the Curitibas track was in 2006 and didnt have the race because was raining.
The track was very bumpy and unlevelled so we had to work the rear suspension of the car to make sure to have a car balanced in the braking . We manage to get a good rightness in the back suspension and I manage to take the TQ.

On Saturday, the grip was quite better for the heats, and I could take the 3rd place of the qualifications, just behind Stéphane Bouche and Adrien Bertin who TQed. So, the same 3 drivers as last month in Concarneau, at the...
