Leo Rammerstorfer maintained his qualifying streak on Sunday, setting the fastest time for the fourth time in the fourth qualifying session of the season. Once again, however, Rammerstorfer did not have the best getaway and so Jakob Rosenthaler took the lead again at first. But as on Saturday, he was unable to break away – Rammerstorfer, Kitzbichler and, in the early stages, Kilian Holzer checked in behind Rosenthaler. Once again on Sunday, the lead changed on almost every lap until it came to a head on the last lap. Rammerstorfer caught up with Rosenthaler on the back straight and came into the Fahrerlagerkurve with a decent overrun and sideways. Rosenthaler took advantage of Leo’s slide and passed first on the outside and then sharply to the inside, while Kitzbichler tried his luck on the outside. Rookies Cup starter Rosenthaler prevailed with this manoeuvre and thus also won the second race of the AJC at the Salzburgring. Rammerstorfer extended his overall lead in the championship with second place, Niklas Kitzbichler consolidated his position as the fiercest chaser.
