Aditis Racing’s Martin Kadlečík claimed his second victory from two starts in the third round of the TCR Eastern Europe Championship at Autodrom Most. The result also extended his championship lead over Adam Kout, who finished second.

Jiří Zbožínek from Janík Motorsport started from pole position alongside Aditis Racing’s Radim Adámek. Žarko Knego from Auto Klub Dubrovnik and Petr Čížek (76 Racing) shared the second row, while Kout and Race 1 winner Kadlečík lined up on row three.

Zbožínek retained the lead in his Hyundai Elantra at the start, while Knego moved into second. Kout quickly made his way up to third, with Kadlečík close behind.

On the following lap, Kadlečík attacked Kout at the chicane and moved into third place. Kout lost momentum during the battle, allowing Čížek to pass him on the corner exit. However, Kout outbraked his rival on the next lap and began chasing Kadlečík, who was looking for a way past Knego.

Knego defended strongly, but Kadlečík eventually made a move stick and took second place. Kout, who had caught the pair, followed him through almost immediately.

Kadlečík and Kout then began closing on race leader Zbožínek, who held an advantage of 3.5 seconds. With 10 minutes remaining, Zbožínek ran wide at the exit of the final corner and went off the track, opening the door for Kadlečík to take the lead. Kout also found a way past soon afterwards to move into second place.

Kadlečík crossed the finish line to complete a perfect weekend, with Kout finishing second and Zbožínek taking third. Knego finished fourth, just half a second ahead of Čížek, while Adámek completed the top six.
