However after changing the shocks he managed to secure second in the second and third round.

At the end of qualifying it was Otto Ausfelt who took the TQ followed by Oscar Levin and David. After starting from 11th position in the first A final due to battery issues David quickly jumped up to 4th within the first lap, unfortunately he also lost 4 places later within the race due to a few mistakes.

With the confidence of the previous win, David led the final A final from the start, going on to finish first after achieving the fastest lap time of the day.
