Double FIA European Rallycross Champion Derek Tohill finished tenth in the second round of the Euro RX Supercar Championship at Hell in Norway to further strengthen his position in the Championship standings.

Derek was on the pace at the difficult circuit from the start against some very tough competition. He set a best time of sixth in Q2, when the track was at its trickiest stage in a transitional period between wet and drying surfaces. On Sunday in Q4 he finished tenth overall to claim a place in the semi-finals.

A puncture on his Fiesta Supercar in the semi-final put paid to any hopes of a final appearance. The team however was classified tenth overall and is now equal seventh in the championship standings ahead of the next round at Holjes in Sweden on the weekend of June 30 to July 2.

Derek said, “To get a top 10 finish at what I’d call our bogey track is great. It was always going to be damage limitation here, there are a lot of Norwegian drivers in Euro RX that are on home turf, and this is always a tough event for me. That’s great, because next up is Sweden, France and Latvia and we love all three. We’ve gained in the Championship too, so there are lots of positives to take from the weekend.”
