2017 BOSS GP Round 1, Race 1

The Round 1, Race 1 of the 2016 Boss GP Series was held at Hockenheimring on April 22.

Report
Ingo Gerstl won the first race of the year from pole position and the Open Class as Andreas Fiedler finished 2nd overall and won the Formula Class but his joy was short-lived after his win was encumbered when it was found he used incorrect tyres. This meant Fielder was stripped of his points, but not victory, and sent to the back of the grid for the second race, meaning that Fielder lost a possible lead in the Formula Class.

Only seven drivers finished the race out the eight starters, after Klaas Zwart retired from the race.

Also Johann Ledermair and Salvatore de Plano were penalized 10 seconds for rule violations.

Trivia
Race personnel are Arthur Hirning & Franz Josef Serr (race directors), Heinz Hegenberger (steward), and Bernd Jung (timekeeper)

Hirning was the steward at last year's race (this role has been taken by Heinz Hegenberger) and Jung retains his position from last year.
