Milenko Vukovic wins first race at Zolder as Dirk Lauth claims class title

By

Milenko Vukovic claimed his third straight DTC victory in the first race at Zolder in Belgium as Dirk Lauth claimed the Production 1 class title.

The title fight for the main class, Super Production, is still wide open as Audi driver Vukovic claimed victory as former championship leader Heiko Hammel retired with a broken driveshaft.

Ford driver Hammel headed the field into the first corner but started to slow due to the driveshaft issue.

This left the race wide open for Vukovic who won the race 20 seconds ahead of team-mate Franjo Kovac, while Reinhard Nehls crossed the line in third.

The Production 2 class was won by Pavel Lefterov ahead of John Kevin Grams, both driving Volkswagen Sciroccos.

Ford driver Ralf Glatzel won the Production Class 1, but the attention was on Lauth who made his way from the back of the grid to finish second and claim the class title for Mini-Racing-Team.
