lead, Manzur was able to open a slightly gap, but after a few laps
he had to defend himself against Teammate Robin Frijns, who managed
to move up to second place at this time. Both Kaufmann Drivers
showed a hard but all time fair duel for the lead. 3 laps to the end
of the race, Manzur and Frijns dropped back to P 2 and P 3 but were
