The fifth round of the ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup was held at the Nurburgring Circuit between 14-16 August 2009. In the qualifying, Aditya and Ashwin put in inspired drives. After just half an hour of practice, both Chennai lads came out with excellent times resulting in 8th and 9th place on the grid. The pole position was secured by Max Sandritter with a timing of 1:49.318 sec.

Aditya qualified with a time of 1:49.787 and Ashwin with a time of 1:49.800. The gap between 1st and 8th qualified being just 0.4 seconds. Just half a second separated the first ten cars. Both the drivers have worked extremely hard to achieve this along with their engineer and the race promised to be exciting as ever. One driver was penalised for overtaking under the red flag in qualifying, so both the drivers were promoted to seventh and eighth.

The start was incident free and Ashwin got ahead of Aditya, as none of them wanted a first corner incident. After this, it was an exhilarating race as Aditya gave chase to Ashwin and was on his bumper at every corner, but with caution. This duel was the most interesting of all during this race.
