Perfect warm and sunny conditions added to the festival atmosphere at the 33rd ADAC Truck Grand Prix and saw Jochen Hahn extend his title lead to 42-points after

With four different winners from the four races this weekend the level of competition has never been higher in the FIA ETRC.

Race 3

Jochen Hahn swept to his fifth FIA European Truck Racing Championship victory of the season at Nürburgring this morning to extend his points lead.

The Hahn Racing IVECO ace led from the first lap onwards after a supreme performance which went some way to rectifying a difficult Saturday for the four-time champion.

Taking the chequered flag by just 3.418s ahead of Antonio Albacete, Hahn was never seriously threatened after he capitalised on fellow front-row starter Antonio Albacete running wide on the first lap.

Albacete had sensationally snatched the lead at turn one after a superior start to pole sitter Hahn. But the German got his revenge when Albacete ran across the gravel at Turn 10 after contact between the pair. Hahn later received an official warning for the incident.

It was Reinert who took the runners-up position on the road after he came through chaos in the first few laps which saw contact between Norbi Kiss, Adam Lacko and Steffi Halm at turn three.

However Reinert was given a 5-second post-race penalty after cutting the chicane on the first lap as he tried to out-muscle a recovering Albacete and slipped to third position in the final result. Despite this, Reinert enjoyed his first ever podium visit on his home turf.

Race 4

Anthony Janiec scored his first FIA European Truck Racing Championship win since taking victory at Jarama in October 2016 at the at Nürburgring today.

The Lion Truck Racing driver converted pole in to the win despite massive initial pressure from both Adam Lacko (Buggyra International Racing System) and Andre Kursim (Don’t Stop Racing IVECO).

But Janiec had just enough for victory after also heading off a train of eight trucks throughout the entire second phase of the 13-lap race.

It capped a memorable weekend for the French team who also celebrated France’s famous win over Argentina in the World Cup yesterday.

Kursim took his best result of the season with a fine runners-up position despite his best efforts to wrest the lead from Janiec. One attempt saw contact between the two and Kursim lose some bodywork.

The Don’t Touch Racing IVECO driver made an excellent move on reigning champion Lacko to then attack Janiec but he was unable to find a way through and crossed the line just 0.4s behind.

It was a memorable day for Sven Walter who watched proudly as the team he founded scored its first podium on home soil.
