IRRC Frohburg – Hoffmann’s Victory Takes Supersport Title Battle Down To The Wire

Former champion Laurent Hoffmann’s opening IRRC Supersport encounter success at Frohburg, means the title battle between second and third place finishers Joey Den Besten and Thomas Walther will go down to the final race of the season.

Performance Racing Achterhoek’s Den Besten will go into this afternoon’s all important race with an increased championship lead of 20 points, over Team Schleizer Dreieck’s Walther after a quite dramatic race this morning.

Lets be honest not many expected 2012 and 2013 series winner Hoffmann to claim race honours, at the same time many astute roads aficionados know the Belgian’s prowess in tricky damp, drying conditions.
