Kelvin van der Linde has struck back in Sunday's qualifying session at Zandvoort. The German-South African, who had been plagued by technical gremlins since his DTM comeback and was forced to retire on Saturday, put his Schubert BMW on pole position in sunny 19-degree conditions with a 1:32.831.
This marks his second pole of the year following his success on Sunday at Spielberg - and the revised Balance of Performance (BoP) with more boost for the BMW likely played its part. "We know what happened in Spielberg, but that’s two poles in four races," a delighted Kelvin van der Linde told ran.de, reflecting on the tire issues he faced during the race at the Red Bull Ring.
