No stopping Bergfeldt

Tommy Bergfeldt continues his domination of Pro Stock but in a slower time.  Having sown up the TQ honours by topping the opening three qualifiers, the Swede tried a more aggressive driving style in Round 4 but found this brought on oversteer in his Cyclone TC.  Fellow Scandinavian Henry Salmen, who is running in a slower heat was second fastest, continuing to impress with his Tamiya.  The former Finnish Pro Stock Champion put the fast time down to pushing harder but with a number of cars in his heat running up to three laps off his pace he feels it will be hard to top Bergfeldt’s FTD time in the last qualifier.

Matthias Lang completed the Pro Stock Top 3 for Round 4 but the German said his Xray is tricky to drive and right on the limit.  Together with the rest of his SMI Motorsport team-mates, who are struggling with corner speed, he will test a completely new set-up in the last of today’s runs.
