Despite missing the final round through injury, the Hungarian is crowned the 2022 Northern Talent Cup title winner
Rossi Moor (FAIRUM Next Generation Riders Team) is the 2022 Northern Talent Cup winner! The Hungarian put together an impressive season of wins and visits to the podium, ultimately sidelined from the finale but his lead proving just enough. Second overall in 2022 after likewise proving unable to take the race starts in Spielberg is Kevin Farkas (Agria Racing Team), whose late season charge was something to behold.
German rider Dustin Schneider (Goblin Racing) secured third overall, showing great progress throughout a season that also saw him take his first win. Congratulations to our top three, and to all the class of 2022!
RACE 1: Varga snatches first win by just 0.013
Tibor Varga (Forty Racing) is now a Northern Talent Cup race winner! The Hungarian came out on top in an incredible race to the flag to take victory by just 0.013, with Dustin Schneider (Goblin Racing) forced to settle for second after a duel round the final corner. Valentino Herrlich (Busch und Wagner Racing Team) completed the podium, just winning his own drag to the line against Martin Vincze (Chrobak Motorsport Egyesület).
As the lights went out it was Matteo Masili (FAIRIUM Next Generation Riders Team) who took the holeshot, with Jurrien van Crugten (BB64 Academy), Schneider and Varga slotting in, but the number 44 was quick to strike for the lead. Initially it was a group of eight, but by Lap 4 five riders had broken away slightly.
That didn’t last too long, with another freight train forming at the front. Meanwhile there was another race within the race as Loris Veneman (TeamNL OpenLine), van Crugten and Lennoxx Phommara (Team Phommara) all had double Long Lap penalties to take, with all pushing to try and move through. Veneman and van Crugten got right back in the fight at the front, able to get back into the group before the final laps.
In the end it all came down to the final couple of corners, in classic Red Bull Ring style. Race leader Varga came under attack as Schneider sliced through on the inside and Herrlich even thought about the outside, but that didn’t work for number 10. He lost out slightly as the race came down to Schneider vs Varga on the drag to the line, with the number 44 tucked in…
