FATHER-SON TEAMWORK BRINGS HAHN VICTORY
Another double podium for the Hahn duo, but this time Jochen Hahn stood on the top step, with Lukas in second as the Chrome driver became the stopper in the bottle, holding back a charging Norbert Kiss.
For the first time in 2024, Kiss did not take the top step of the podium, missing out on a hat-trick of clean sweeps. Lukas Hahn led the field off the grid from reverse pole, holding back the challenge of John Newell to secure his place at the start. With drama unfolding behind the leading duo, it briefly seemed that the two Chrome drivers would disappear into the distance and both contend for the overall podium.
Once the jostling settled down, the Titan drivers began making their way back up the field. Sascha Lenz got nudged in the opening stages, putting him on the back foot as he chased down his fellow Titans for overall points.
The Hahns received crucial aid from Antonio Albacete, who managed to hold Kiss behind him for three laps. This gave Jochen a head start, allowing him to get in front of Lukas and storm down the track to build a lead. Lukas played the perfect support role, holding back the chasing duo, letting Albacete and Kiss catch up to him but never pass.
Albacete finished fourth as Kiss finally passed him, completing the overall podium.
Lenz recovered to fifth after the start, crossing the line ahead of Chrome class second place Clemens Hecker, who returned to the podium for the first time since Misano. Mark Taylor came across the line seventh overall, third in class, fighting through the pack and nearly being wiped out by Newell and Steffi Halm to add another Chrome podium to his tally.Steffen Faas, André Kursim and Luke Garrett were the last of the finishers, meaning all Race 4 classified drivers picked up overall championship points.
Newell and Halm collided coming around the Turn 8/9/10 chicane, collecting Luis Recuenco in the process. Halm had been trying to push up the grid, looking to take sixth place from Newell when the two came together, ending up facing the wrong way on the track. In the dust thrown up from the incident, Recuenco tried to avoid them but instead found himself colliding with Halm's backward-facing truck. He managed to get back to the pit lane, but that was the end of his race.
Halm was deemed responsible for the incident by the stewards and was given a three-place grid drop for Race 1 Nurburgring.
