The race restarted with 3 laps to go and the order is as below Shaby and Chalkers decided to stay out, but Prins did decide to go for fresh softs, which dropped him from third to fifth, losing positions to his team mate and DyMx who had just pitted for fresh tyres a few laps ago. With just six laps to go, not everyone opted to pit for fresh tyres. That safety car came too late to help the medium runners, as in lap 20 all of them had pitted already. All of them started on medium tyres and still had to pit, but we’ve seen this season a few times that the reversed strategy could pay off big time if a safety car comes out when the medium starters haven’t pitted yet.
After all pitstops where made we had a new leader, Blackmamba, followed by Livingwall, DyMx50 and Xavi. This was at a time when most of his rivals where changing their soft tyres for a set of mediums. The race had it’s first shocking moment when on lap 10 Jari made a mistake and spun at turn 1 dropping him back many places. Jari, Chalkers and Shaby kept fighting for the leading position and positions changed many times with overtakes mostly done on Hangar straight. Due to an intense battle in the midfield with Marcel, Boompje and Trocker the five front runners were able to create a gap to the rest of the field. Invisible let his team mate Prins by, but stayed close to the front runners. When the red lights went out Jari took the lead going into turn 1 and Shaby moved up to third. The commentators where very close with their predicted pole time, both only one tenth of the actual set time of 1:26.116. He shared front row with Shaby, with other title contenders Prins in 5th and LTrocker in 10th. Although insiders know that Invisible is always strong on the classic tracks, not many expected him to be this quick.
Chalkers took pole ahead of Jari, but we did have a bit of a surprise on third place. Qualifying showed us once again the familiar names up front.
