David Vrsecky and Antonio Albacete are very close, further we have René Reinert and Anthony Janiec. Anthony won only 8 points in Czech Republic, The Lion Truck Racing should find what was wrong.

The 2 women German drivers, Steffi Halm and Ellen Lohr, are respectively 9th and 10th. Steffi made a nice podium on the third place of the race 2. The spectators are always impressed by their motivation and their determination on the track.

The 2 Mercedes trucks of Tankpool 24 team had a lot of mecanics troubles in Most. Roland Rehfeld won still 3 points. The set-up of the trucks is difficult and they hope to find a solution in Hungaria.
Don't forget Erwin Kleinnagelvoort, the Dutch driver is always there, it's an amateur team bur really motivate, that's the truck racing spirit!
