Friday’s qualifying had projected the Russian driver among the best in the category with the fourth best time in Group C. From a good starting position, Anatoly was able to make the difference by collecting, respectively in the four heats, two second places, a third and a seventh place. The sum of the results was useful to guarantee Khavalkin the pole position for Sunday morning’s Prefinal B.
A start from the pole found and managed to the best of his ability for the Russian driver, even if he was unable to win his own pre-final and close in fifth position after a penalty of 3sec.
With the new scoring system, despite his fifth place in the pre-final, Anatoly still started on the front row for the OKJ final. A hard-fought race for the Parolin driver, who finished in sixth position with good ideas to work on for the next race weekend.
