GUSTAFSSON IS AT THE TOP IN THE OKJ

It was then that the two British drivers, Dexter Patterson and Jonny Edgar (both on Exprit-TM), took over the leadership winning the two Pre-finals. Then in the Final, it was the turn of the Swedish Viktor Gustafsson (Tony Kart-Vortex) to take the lead after a recovery from the 6th row. Gustafsson leads with 56 pts, 3 points ahead of Edgar.
