Ahlberg wins Race 2 and Dahlgren takes points lead
Andreas Ahlberg took his maiden victory in TCR Scandinavia as he led Tobias Brink throughout the second race at Anderstorp.
Race 1 winner Robert Dahlgren was classified fifth and took the leadership in the standings, one point ahead of Ahlberg and four over the pair of Andreas Wernersson and Brink.
Jessica Bäckman on pole and Tomas Engström started from the front row, but during the first lap they were passed by Ahlberg and Brink who were third and fourth on the grid.
Behind the leading quartet, Mattias Andersson and Dahlgren overtook Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky, moving into fifth and sixth. The PWR Racing’s lady defended her seventh position from Wernersson, but she made a mistake on lap 5 and dropped to 12th.
The two final laps were enlivened by the battles for the fifth and sixth positions. On lap 11, Dahlgren overtook Andersson for fifth, while the latter was able to retain sixth, keeping Wernersson at bay.
Ahlberg won from Brink and Bäckman who finished on the podium again one week after her second place in TCR Europe at Hockenheim.
TCR Scandinavia third event of the season will take place at Skellefteå on 14/15 June.
