Walilko’s great race

On the rain-drenched Sachsenring Igor Waliłko scored a sensational race after starting from fifth field winning second place after Mikkel Jensen, who secured his championship ADAC Formel Masters title. 17-year-old Waliłko was for the first time on the podium.

Because of the appalling conditions the race started behind a Safety Car. After three laps, the green flag appeared. Waliłko overtook Tim Zimmermann and attacked the third in line Dennis Marshall. This battle lasted for 6 laps. Igor rival toured the outside of the first corner. Then Zimmermann took Marschalls fourth place. At a 11th corner Kim Luis Schram and Nico Menzel collided and safety car returned on track.

Race has been restarted after 9 laps. Igor Waliłko overtook Joel Eriksson, again attacking from the outside of the first corner. On the next lap Zimmermann left behind Eriksson. Igor has been decorated by the former series champion, Marvin Kirchhofer, now a star of GP3 Series.
