Almost four weeks after the 24h-race the next run for championship points
of the VLN Langstreckenmeisterschaft took place. This time the drivers
Lorenzo Rocco and Christina Holley participated for the team of Jaco‘s
Paddock. |
|
The fast racing-amazon, from the british channel island Jersey, did her
first laps on the Nordschleife, on friday, in the BMW M3. She quickly
got used to the car and achieved constant fast laptimes.

For qualifying Lorenzo Rocco and Christina Holley went out on the softer
Hankook tires in order to gain a satisfying lap time directly from the
beginning. At the end of the chase for a good position in the starting
grid the BMW could place 9th in the class V6 and 168th in the overall
ranking.
Lorenzo Rocco lined up for the starting turn, in sunny conditions, and
fought his way up in the rankings during the first laps.
The Italian driver passed the car on to Christina Holley without any problems.
She drove very routinely and managed to improve her lap times.
Then Lorenzo Rocco took over the car for the last turn, trying to attack
once more. The plan seemed to work out, but right before the end the capricious
Eifelweather showed again. Strong wind and dark clouds signalizing the
upcoming rain, which then came pouring down very quickly, causing chaos
among the teams in the pitlane. Lorenzo Rocco also came in once again
to pick up his rain tires for the last lap.
In the end 6th place in class and 73rd in the overall ranking was achieved.
Drivers and teamboss Jaco Velders were content with the whole performance
of the team, which can be build upon, in order to make futher steps forward
in the future.
In 14 days the team of Jaco‘s Paddock will already participate in
the next event. Then it will be all about the chase for championship points
in the third run of the RCN circuit challenge. After the mixed start of
the season Patrick Zufelde and Jaco Velders want to score important points.
