Jaminet also like the day before, moved some place up the standings,
but got a 10 second time penalty at the end.
Robin Frijns drove
the race of the season so far. He was putting a lot of pressure on
the leader Carlos Sainz and finally in the middle of the race, Sainz

this year. What an impressive performance by both, the young Dutch
Robin Frijns and his Team JOSEF KAUFMANN RACING.
