Jan Magnussen was also in the running for a win in qualification heat 2, but he never managed to find a way around Tom Pedersen. The
BMW 320i E46 driver took the first DTC race win of his career and thus for the second round in succession a heat had been won by a privateer.
“It's my best result so far. I really hadn't expected it. I am really happy to have finished with Jan Magnussen right behind me, ‘cause he is a driver who is good and people know that,” Pedersen said.
Before the weekend at FDM Jyllandsringen Michel Nykjær was leading the championship by a single point from John Nielsen, but the Seat Leon driver actually managed to extend that lead even though he both had races with luck and lack of it.
“I really hadn't expected that the weekend would end like this,” he said, having won qualification heat 1 and retired from the second following a collision. “We hadn't expected this kind of result with 40 kg of success ballast in the car, but still I haven't driven a car that was so good for so long like this one.”
