Perfect score for Zwart and Gerstl in first BossGP

Quotes after the race:
Klaas Zwart (1st position Open Class): “Everything went just perfect. Overtaking other drivers was never a problem; everybody made way in a very fair manner. You can’t start the season in better fashion than by winning…”



Arnold Wagner (2nd position Open Class): “I had a lot of fun and it really was a magnificent field at the start. I started from the pit lane, but was able to win several positions throughout the race.”



Henk de Boer (3rd position Open Class): “I crashed on Thursday and both my leg and hip are causing me some pain. However, it was a good decision to start anyway. Finishing on the stage is a superb start to the season.”



Ingo Gerstl (1st position Masters Class): “The first couple of rounds went extremely well, but the oil tracks on the road then caused me some problems. I had a lot of fun though today.”



Carlos Antunes Tavares (2nd position Masters Class): “I got involved in a nice man to man battle with Abba Kogan in his Tyrrell in the beginning of the race, but he proved to be too strong in the end, partially because I wanted to save my tires for Sunday’s race a bit.”



Henry Büttner (3rd position Masters Class): “This racing class has deeply impressed me, as well as the entire event. It was a great experience.”
