What the Drivers said at Zolder on Saturday

15 September 2019

Check out what the stars of the show said on Saturday at Zolder...

Race 1

1st - Jochen Hahn | Hahn Racing IVECO

“I missed the start with some wheelspin and I thought ‘oh, now I have a fight.’

“I saw in the last six laps that Antonio had a little bit of problems with the front tyres at the braking points and I closed the gap a little bit more and more. He came to Orsini and at a place where I win a lot. I am really lucky and under normal conditions it is impossible to overtake him. I understand he is upset because of the traffic but sometimes this is racing.”

2nd – Antonio Albacete | Truck Sport Lutz Bernau MAN

“I have some traffic in the slow corner as Orsini was in front of me and I cudn’t accelerate very fast because I was not sure which way he would go and Jochen accelerated faster than me and caught me there.

“He got momentum and went through which was very hard [to take]. Big shame because before this the start was perfect and the pace was good. Hard to take.”

Race 2

1st – Rene Reinert | Reinert Racing IVECO

“The last two my tyres and brakes were getting tired but I tried to just keep it smooth and I didn’t want to touch any penalty markers.

“But I think I had it pretty much under control. The three wins are nice and I am happy for the team. We need to be better in qualifying although it was better but I have made some mistakes which I have to work on but there have been some really good points and I am happy for this win.”

2nd – Steffi Halm | Team Schwabentruck IVECO

“It was not the plan to try a move in the last lap even though I was close. It was just my plan to try and make him nervous and make a mistake because he was hard on tyres.

“We had a little bit of contact when he moved a bit on my side in braking but everything was ok. But in the beginning it was more important for me to leave a little gap to him so he can drive his lines and we can watch but also I can get a gap to Norbi [Kiss] and the others. We did this and I am happy for the nice result.”
