Mixed results for Sandeep Kumar in Scirocco R-Cup

Sandeep Kumar continued to improve his performance as he secured his best finish so far in race 5 with 8th place (12th overall) in the junior category at the Scirocco R-Cup 2013 at Nurburgring.
While race 5 proved to be successful outing, race 6 didn't go as expected with a 12th place finish (16th overall).
Kelvin van der Linde posted his fourth consecutive win and strengthened his lead in the championship. Kelvin's compatriot from South Africa Jordan Lee Pepper bounced back to win the reverse grid race 6 during the weekend.
Scirocco R-Cup moved to Nurburgring for races 5 and 6 of the 2013 season. After qualifying in the 11th spot on the grid for race 5, Sandeep dropped down to 14th on lap 1 and then to 15th on lap 2. He made a comeback on lap 3 and by lap 7, got into the 12th position.

However, on the same lap, German driver Lukas Schreier, left the track after a failed overtaking maneuver against Luca Rettenbacher and rolled several times before coming to a standstill on the edge of the rack in a demolished car.
Schreier walked out of the car unaided but the race was suspended. Sandeep was running 12th overall and 8th in junior category at that point of time and that was considered as final result, which happened to be the best so far in the season.
At the front, Kelvin continued his top form and clinched his 4th consecutive victory of the season. Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky from Sweden took the 2nd spot while Kasper Jensen from Denmark came home in 3rd.

For race 6, with the reverse grid starting order, it was the junior category driver Jordan Lee Pepper on pole who managed to take the best start and led the race from start to finish.
