Dennis Nilsson, revs sounding high, explosion from the engine at around 500ft, 4.907/316.61, improvement nevertheless but a lot of work for the team we suspect. Susanne Callin 5.492/207.36 v Jndia Erbacher next, 3.892/482.05 for Jndia and cylinders lit all the way down the track, outhouse to penthouse as they say. Susanne suffered tyre shake up in smoke and lifted. Antti Horto finished the sesson with 4.917/243.32, lifting before the eighth after tyre shake. No Ida this session.
Apologies to readers for lack of incremental times in our report.

Jonny Lagg 5.508/435.21 0.980 60ft and 3.679/349.35, getting close to the centre line but not lifting. Then Silvio Strauch who had a burst panel go with some engine damage from a broken valve getting stuck in the cylinder head causing consequent severe engine damage, great effort from the team to return in this session v Tony Bryntesson. High revs on the burnout for Silvio 5.575/409.38 (0.917 to 60ft and 3.654/328.98 to half track) and 6.132/390.68 for Tony (1.056 and 4.133/312.33 to half track and cylinder out again), nice runs.
The two funny cars of Sandro Bellio 10.199/121.45 and Linn Fl�ysvik 5.786/398.93 (1.028 60ft and 3.829/324.75 to half track) next, very consistent for Linn however Sandro suffering tyre shake and short shifting did not improve the situation. Linn's position reflects her 0.22 handicap which will be in the tree for eliminations.
Qualifying after this session:
- Jonny Lagg 5.498/422.60

Good morning and welcome to day 2 of our coverage from the 35th NitrOlympX from the Hockenheimring. It was raining overnight but stopped a couple of hours ago so the track crew are at work drying the surface out. The temperatures today are a lot cooler than yesterday which was hot and humid. It's currently 21C and forecast for a maximum of 24C with wind of 7mph from the north west. Density altitude is forecast at 1500-2000ft with 88-94 grains of water, so still humid.
We had two sessions of qualifying for most classes yesterday however the FIM-E Top Fuel Bike and Super Twin Bike were carried over due to the far shutdown area being damp, Super Pro ET and Pro ET have also been carried over. Today's qualifying will commence with the carried-over third session of Pro ET, Super Gas and Super Pro ET and the other sportsman classes, with FIM-E classes running mid morning depending on weather conditions. We are linking our sportsman reports to the official qualifying lists so you can see the order with one click.
