DJKM: Maxim Rehm achieves double victory at the juniors

The junior class was completely filled up with 54 drivers and brilliantly manned. At the front, things were the same as they had been in Kerpen though: Akshay Bohra (TB Racing Team) led the youngsters after qualifying and the heats. But German Maxim Rehm (Ricky Flynn Motorsport) was already very close during the heats. Both of them were at the top of the interim rankings with the same amount of points.

Everyone was therefore excited about the fight for victory during the first final race. While Rehm didn't catch a good start, Alex Powell (SP Motorsport) took first place. The Jamaican wasn't able to defend his position though: Rehm and Bohra passed him by and drove off. The leading German showed a solid performance: He kept his pursuer at bay until the finish line and celebrated his victory in front of Bohra and Powell. Best rookie of the field was Jens Treuer (CV Performance Group) on fourth place, followed by Tom Kalender (TB Racing Team) who ended up on fifth place after a great catching-up race.

During the second final, Rehm left no doubt about his performance. The protégé of the Championship team Ricky Flynn Motorsport showed a solid performance again and secured the only double victory of the weekend. “I'm very happy to have won. Both weren't easy races, but everything went well. I'd like to thank my whole team in the background for their support”, the 13-year-old rejoiced in his winner's interview. Lenny Ried (Lanari Racing Team) caused a German double success by coming in second. Bohra, Jonathan Weywadt (RS Competition) and Powell completed the top five.
