As the track looked a lot slower than yesterday it was Mason Fuller who did not get the memo and went to the top with a margin of 6 tenths over three laps! David Ronnefalk had a few heaters in him but could not string them together and he settled for second. Davide Ongaro seemed to be comfortable and could string together his fastest laps but was just lacking pace compared to the first two which we rarely ever see from him.

The biggest surprise of the round by far was the young Mayako driver, Nate Sutherland who put together two incredibly fast laps and with that scored 5th for the round. The usual suspects around the top 5, Chase Lemieux and Brandon rose placed 7th and 6th in front of a gang of Europeans sandwiching the Tennessee native Jonah Wilson.

It seems that the Italian Kyosho drivers love something about these morning rounds similarly to David Ronnefalk whereas yesterday’s FP6 pace setter Burak Kilic seems to always struggle in these ones. The track was significantly slower this time around than even yesterday’s first round which we could see the Other guys much closer to Davide Ongaro. I’m suspecting Davide will be back in his usual form for round 2 as the track gains some grip back.
