“It was a good victory and from the outside I think it looks easy, but from inside it is not easy, as Adam (Lacko) and René (Reinert) will agree."
RACE 3
1st Jochen Hahn
“It was a good victory and from the outside I think it looks easy, but from inside it is not easy, as Adam (Lacko) and René (Reinert) will agree.
“I push every lap on the limit and I know that if the conditions change (get wetter) that Adam (Lacko) will come at me like a tornado and so I push really very hard every lap and I look for the limit and I found it and I win. Yes, it was with a big gap, but it is not easy.”
2nd Adam Lacko
“I am happy with the second place and to be back on the podium, but today Jochen (Hahn) is just very, very fast and I try to catch him, but he is fastest than me here.
“But when it started to rain a little bit before the race I hoped it would be better for me and I was able to then go faster for one or two laps, but again Jochen (Hahn) is so quick.
“But this is the racing and I am happy with second position and Jochen (Hahn) is the first and it was a good race.”
3rd René Reinert
“Yes, I was not happy before the race as I had a very good qualifying and was third place and then I got a penalty for over-speeding and I wasn’t so happy with their (Stewards) decision.
“And so my motivation was not high before the race, but then on the grid I thought, well OK, I will make the best of the situation.
“It started to rain on the grid, but I made a good start and overtook two trucks on the first lap and yes, it was a really good race as I made overtake after overtake. I got up to fourth place and it started to rain a bit heavier and that made me a bit slower as we had a dry set up and then towards the end of the race the rain eased off, the track dried off a bit and I made it through to third place.
“I think it was one of my best races in my racing career and I am very happy.”
RACE 4
1st Jochen Hahn
“To make it from eighth to a win is normally a dream, but today it works. Yes, we had a bit of luck, with some problems for drivers in front of us and then made some good overtakes.
“Adam also made up places and Sascha (Lenz) did really well. In fact I am really happy to have him here with me on the podium, so I am not alone as the only German boy.
“I am really happy to win, to finish ahead of Adam, it has been a good weekend.”
2nd Adam Lacko
“Starting seventh on the grid made it a very challenging race for me and an exciting one for the spectators I think.
“I have to say that I really enjoyed the race, as every lap you had to try and pass somebody. I knew I had to get by quickly as I had to try to stay close to Jochen (Hahn).
“I am very happy to be racing at home and to be three times on the podium makes it a good weekend for me.”
3rd Sascha Lenz
“I am very happy to have made my first (FIA ETRC) podium and I am very happy for my whole team. We have all worked very hard this weekend.
“It was a good race for me, from starting in second on the grid. Jochen (Hahn) and Adam (Lacko) got through, and then Kiss was there, but I was able to hold on and I am very happy.”
