Five podiums for tankpool24 at the legendary Truck Grand Prix

In the very first race on Saturday Norbert Kiss was able to advance to third place in his Mercedes. "The Nürburgring is one of my two favorite tracks. That's why I was really looking forward to this weekend. Driving in front of so many spectators is a lot of fun," said Norbert Kiss after the first run. In Saturday's second race, the Hungarian narrowly missed the podium with fourth place. Meanwhile Steffen Faas fought with the competition from the Grammer Cup. The 34-year-old also started successfully and secured third place in the first race and second place in Saturday's race.

With technical problems Norbert Kiss had to admit defeat already in the first race on Sunday despite an excellent starting position and had to park his truck early. Steffen Faas crossed the finish line in thirteenth place and clinched third place in the Grammer Cup and thus his third podium in the third race. In the final race Norbert Kiss started an outstanding race to catch up. From the end of the field he fought his way up to sixth place in the course of the thirteen laps and took important points for the overall standings. In the overall ranking the Hungarian is in third place with 88 points; the tankpool24 racing team is also in third place. Steffen Faas makes it to second place in the Grammer Cup overall standings.

The 4th race weekend of the FIA European Truck Racing Championship will take place on July 14th and 15th at the Slovakiaring near Bratislava.
