Adam Kerenyi’s Comeback
Dotz Teamrider on Podium at King of Europe in Slovakia
It
was almost 40° Celsius in the shade when the best European drifters met at the
beginning of July for the third King of Europe race. This time, four drivers
represented Dotz, all with different versions of the Dotz Fast Seven: the
Italians Diego Quaranta and Marco Blasutta, Norwegian Viking Stian Jacobsen and
the Hungarian 2009 champion, Adam Kerenyi, who drove a newly tuned BMW E36. And
he did it very well, as a matter of fact: Kerenyi ended up in this drift
series’ third event’s final. And this time, there was also a bird’s-eye view,
when Dotz premiered its helicam. It was indeed the first time ever that a drift
race was shot from up high.
While
Diego Quaranta and Stian Jacobsen were losing their battles by a whisker in the
first knock-out round, the weekend’s highlight took place when Dotz Teamrider
Marco Blasutta fought against Benjamin Boulbes. The Frenchman was in top form
once again and after two almost perfect rounds did indeed beat Blasutta, before
being knocked out himself in the next round. In the semi-final, Ciortan Calin,
from Romania, was able to beat Dawid Karkosik, Poland, in two clear rounds. In the other semi-final, Adam Kerenyi had to
take
on.
Adrian Pekala, also from Poland. The Hungarian won the first run 7:3,
thanks to a better drift angle. The 5:5 re-run then let the Dotz Teamrider
enter the final. So it was Kerenyi vs. Calin in the big showdown of the King of
Europe series. The Romanian, up front in the first run, was able to keep
Kerenyi in check and won the first battle 6:4. In the re-run, however, the
Hungarian also beat Calin 6:4 and the final was going to extra time. After
another 6:4 for Calin, the Romanian could defend himself against Kerenyi’s attacks
in the re-run and won this very close race.
