What the drivers said on Saturday at Autodrom Most

2 September 2018

Here's what the top drivers from both Saturday's races had to say at Most once the dust settled....

Race 1

1st Adam Lacko – Buggyra International Racing System | Freightliner

"We weren’t lucky in qualifying but come the race I was cautious at the start. I followed Sascha [Lenz] for a few laps to read his lines and after, at the back straight, going into the slowest corner I had a go and had luck on my side this time. I’m very happy to win in front of my home crowd."

2nd Sascha Lenz – SL Trucksport | MAN

"I think it was a very good drive. I knew Adam was closing on me, I was struggling a little in Turns 6 and 7 and I thought ‘OK, you can go.’ P2 is very good anyway. Now we have to see what’s possible in Race 2, it’s raining and anything can happen."

3rd Jochen Hahn – Team Hahn Racing | IVECO

"Kiss and Antonio [Albacete] were fighting hard and slowing each other so I was able to get by them and overtake. Then Steffi was more her mistake and I was able to get alongside and get her on acceleration.

I am pretty happy with the pace of the truck in the wet conditions and we can learn for the second race a bit more especially now we know where the grip levels are for the driving styles. For me the third today is a good result after starting seventh."

Race 2

1st Adam Lacko – Buggyra International Racing System | Freightliner

"I think it was a really nice race, because on every single lap I tried to pass somebody and I had a go at René on the last corner of the last lap and it worked out, I passed him. I’m very happy because of the two victories in a day. It’s just perfect for our home race, nothing better was possible. Not every day you have to work so hard for a victory."

2nd René Reinert – Reinert Racing | MAN

"I’m a little bit disappointed, that’s for sure. You’re leading on the last lap just to lose it on the last 200m – it’s a bit sad but it doesn’t matter now.

"At the beginning, I had a good gap over Steffi [Halm] but then Norbi [Kiss] overtook Steffi and went after me. I made two or three small mistakes, something that’s very easy in these conditions and both Norbi and Adam were able to close up the gap. It was really hard to stay in front and going out of the last corner Adam had a much better acceleration."

3rd Norbert Kiss – Team Tankpool24 Racing | Mercedes-Benz

"I didn’t have anything to fight against Adam, I lost the place and a chance to fight for the victory. Before that, when Adam was behind, I could see clearly that we could go faster than René."
