Seibel celebrates for the first time, Kadlečík turns seventh start into seventh victory

Martin Kadlečík, starting from pole position, continues his winning streak in the Clio IV category at Autodrom Most. Similarly, Tomáš Pekař had a good chance for win in the Clio V category, but after an accident in the first chicane, Henrik Seibel emerged as the winner.

Nik Štefančič failed to brake his Clio before the first chicane and collided with Tomáš Pekař at high speed, ending Pekař’s race.

Szabolcs Lantos moved up to second place overall, ahead of Adam Konopka and Henrik Seibel. However, Konopka didn’t wait and immediately attacked the Hungarian driver. After Konopka, Seibel and the local driver Libor Horák, who returned to the Clio Cup after a one-year break, overtook Lantos.

Later on, Konopka braked too late in the first corner and dropped to fifth place overall. Meanwhile, Horák worked his way up to second place. A few laps later, there was contact between Konopka and Richard Meixner, causing both drivers to retire from the race. The safety car had to be deployed.

After the restart, the order remained unchanged, and in the Clio IV classification, Martin Kadlečík claimed victory ahead of Libor Horák and Michael Hulm.

In the Clio V category, Henrik Seibel secured his first win of the season, followed by Szabolcs Lantos and Miha Primožič. Behind them, Ondrej Fekete, David Malinkovski, Andrej Makarovic, and Martin Fischer completed the race.
