Three drivers stood out on the first lap of the DD2 Masters Prefinal: Michael Stephen, Antti Ollikainen and Ryan Urban. Tomokazu Kawase and Horacio Torres were among the four drivers who do not complete the lap. Scott Campbell and Derek Wang set off in pursuit of the leading trio, followed by Fernando Guzzi and Luis Schiavo. The top three would not let up and built a gap greater than 1.5” to the pack in mid-race.
Ollikainen seriously threatened Stephen who stood firm with Urban also a direct threat. Meanwhile, Guzzi had taken 4th position ahead of Lucas Schiavo, Gabriel Zughella and Adam Hunter. Charly Hipp made it into the top 10 and Christopher Adams went 14th. The battle in the leading trio continued to the end of the race even though the order didn’t change before the chequered flag. Stephen won by a tenth ahead of Ollikainen and Urban. Guzzi finished 4th by almost 2” with Schiavo 5th. It was a beautiful race for Hipp and Adams ending with 9th and 14th places.
