Well, the predicted hotter temperatures on Saturday at the NitrOlympX, Hockenheimring, Germany were not false, with the track, crew, racers, spectators and press sweltering (and sweating if the truth be told) under the cloudless skies, it was always going to be a question of endurance. Unfortunately, a hefty crash in the car classes and a looming cut off presented by… checks notes… a women’s world championship boxing contest… restricted the FIM-E classes to just a single outing today on the Rico Anthes Quartermile.

It was at least to say a hot and eventful second day of qualifying for the NitrOlympX at the Rico Anthes Quartermile of the HockenheimRing, round four of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. Friday leaders Jndia Erbacher (Top Fuel), Sandro Bellio (Top Methanol) and Jimmy Ålund (Pro Stock) remained in the number one position, while in Pro Modified Andres Arnover took over the number one spot. So drivers from four different countries will lead their respective categories into Sunday’s eliminations.

Friday at the NitrOlympX, Hockenheimring, Germany is always a question of easing into the event on the annual visit to the woefully underused Rico Anthes Quartermile. The first qualifying session was something that can largely be overlooked, with a lot of track hiccups, oildowns and delays although the second session was a slight improvement, but the track itself really was baking under the sun. Unfortunately, tomorrow (Saturday) looks to be even hotter, but it is what it is and there is a fair amount at stake in qualifying ahead of Sunday’s eliminations.

The filling in the middle of a frentic triple header over four weeks, the NitrOlympX on the fabled Rico Anthes Quartermile within the spectacular Hockenheimring is always a much anticipated event. The 2024 version, taking place 23rd – 25th August, is no different.

No time to rest for the teams of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. Hardly recovered from the exciting races at Tierp Arena, it’s time for the famous NitrOlympX at the Rico Anthes Quartermile of the HockenheimRing. Duncan Micallef (Top Fuel), Jonny Lagg (Top Methanol), David Vegter (Pro Modified) and Jimmy Ålund (Pro Stock) are the current leaders, but one thing is for sure and that is that nothing is sure looking at the different winners so far this season. Interesting ingredients for another exciting round of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship.
