OK Junior
Van Langendonck (Exprit/Tm) managed his substantial lead, while Costoya (Parolin/Tm), who was already out of the Championship fight, raced without concerns about numbers. Sharing the same group (A), they dominated their heats, leaving no room for the others, though others shone in different groups. Notable performances came from British driver Noah Baglin (KR/Iame), who won three heats, the fast Austrian Niklas Schaufler, and the surprise of the CRG team, Spaniard Manuel Miguez, who found himself consistently among the frontrunners in Sweden after struggling to make the finals earlier in the Championship. Van Langendonck's closest pursuer in the standings, Italy's Iacopo Martinese, suffered from an unfortunate qualifying session (45th in yesterday's quali), forcing him to start from the back in the heats. Despite showcasing impressive driving skills on a track with plenty of overtaking opportunities, he couldn't recover enough points in the overall standings. Another driver in a great shape to watch tomorrow is the Dutch Dean Hoogendoorn, a pleasant revelation of the Swedish weekend, who consistently earned Pole for Super Heat B.
OK
Turney is playing it safe in the category, where making a mistake or getting involved in a collision could be costly. Meanwhile, Gomez has not held back, giving his all even in situations where he risked not finishing the race due to his aggressive yet fair maneuvers. The two dominant drivers of the Swedish weekend have been the Belgian Ramaekers, possibly the fastest driver in the OK Senior category this year, and the Irishman McLaughlin. Except for a brief slip-up in a heat where he finished 4th, McLaughlin has made no mistakes, positioning himself as a key contender for tomorrow. The two will share the front row for Super Heat A, while Frenchman Helias—yesterday's fastest qualifier—and Gomez will start at the front in Super Heat B.
