After races 13 and 14 of div. 2 of the ADAC Procar which were held on the TT circuit in Assen, Holland, team rhino's Leipert Motorsport and Nils Mierschke are ahead by a nose in the championships as Mierschke got first and second place in his Ford Fiesta ST.
Their start into the weekend was very exciting as they got best lap-times in both free practices. However, Mierschke had an engine failure during qualifying on Saturday. Since the team changed the engine, the German had to enter the race from behind as per rules and regulations. Still, Mierschke showed his skills and ploughed through the field in his Ford Fiesta ST and finished the 20 minute-race in second place. In the second race, which started some time later, he even came in first and secured his sixth victory this season.
Ingo Leipert, Team Manager of rhino's Leipert Motorsport, explained: "Nils did a great job and was able to get over the setback he'd suffered during qualifying. His development during this season is really remarkable. If he continues this strong performance in Hockenheim, he is bound to win the title."
Mierschke is now leading the table with 110 points and is 9 points ahead of his keenest competitor, Guido Thierfelder. 20 more points are to be gained during the last race of the season held at the Hockenheimring at the first weekend in October. |
