DTWS

We open a new series in the recap and, although we started it in the middle of the season we will only make the summary of the last two weeks. From the previous races we can only say that the victories were shared by Kokkonen(5), Del Ragno(2) and Miller Jr. with only 1. Therefore at the beginning of this recap the leader of the series was Kokkonen.

Zandvoort
In the first qualification on the Dutch track, Miller Jr. won, taking only 0.01 seconds from Del Ragno and 0.02 from Nebesky ml. who were second and third respectively. Kokkonen could only be 6th. Nothing happened in the race, there were practically no overtakes and Del Ragno managed to win thanks to the strategy of stops, Nebesky and Miller Jr. accompanied him on the podium.

Brands Hatch
First very tight classification at Brands Hatch with 6 cars in just 0.08 seconds. Miller Jr. ended up taking pole position followed by Strojnik and Del Ragno. As usual in this category we had a race with very few overtaking. Miller Jr. led from the beginning of the race but an error with 7 laps to go made him lose the first position in favor of Strojnik. Kokkonen overtook Del Ragno on the first lap and managed to get on the last step of the podium
In the second classificationDel Ragno led with a difference of 0.05 with Miller Jr. and Kokkonen. Del Ragno led the race until lap 10, when he made a serious mistake and fell to 5th position. This mistake along with a good pit stop ended up giving Kokkonen the victory.
