Welcome to the Millenium Season!
Thx to the Student Hotel Director Mr. Berger it was once again possible
to get the track up for a season of racing. Some of the drivers couldn't
await for the green flag to drop. The starter field including last years
champion "Viking", "Nevermind", "Lukas", "Beeli", "Nathalie" and "Maxi
TB". New on the grid were "Werner", "Reaper" and "Manuel". The qualify
was weighted, nearly everyone choosed the same car and lane. "Pontiac51",
driving first, catched the pole, 0.3867 secs in front of "Viking". The
rest of the field looked like this:

So "Nathalie" and "Manuel" competed in Class C. Race was
run as this: slowest driver chooses lane, fastest driver chooses car, then
after 1 race in the same configuration the controllers are swapped, so
everyone races each car on each lane. This means 4 races (3 laps long)
per round. Points for each race: 10 for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 3 for
4th, 0 for DNF.

Lady's round here, "Nathalie" winning first, then driving it tactically, so "Manuel" had to go to the B-final.
"Nevermind", "Viking", "Beeli" and "Maxi TB" competed
in Class B.

"Viking" showing again what he's made of, A-final for him, the others fighted out the places, rather narrow racing here.
Next was Class A with "Reaper", "Lukas", "Werner" and
"Pontiac51".

Well, "Lukas" was the most improving driver last season and he continues this one. Holding off "Pontiac51" most of the time, once beating him the last turn, both were up to A. "Reaper" and "Werner" both a little "hotblooded".
After the pitstop for cleaning the cars and cooling track and minds the C-Final was on. Here "Werner" (A, 0pts) and "Beeli" (B, 10pts) settled the positions 9 to 10.

"Beeli", not his day today, but good enough to beat "Werner".
On to the B-Final, in there "Nevermind" (B, 12pts), "Maxi
TB" (B, 14pts), "Manuel" (C, 10pts) and "Reaper" (A, 6pts), settling pos.
from 5 to 8.

"Nevermind" out in front only "Manuel" able to stop him once. "Maxi TB" added some challenge for both. "Reaper" was of no importance in this final.
In the A-final "Viking" (B, 40pts), "Nathalie" (C, 16pts),
"Lukas" (A, 34pts) and "Pontiac51" (A, 28pts) would compete for the grand
prix trophy.

"Viking" in front grabbing the number one sharp in front of "Pontiac51" and "Lukas". No points left for "Nathalie", she stayed at the back of the pack.
So the "Grand Prix Champion Trophy" was for "Viking", the "Pole Position Trophy" for "Pontiac51", the "Runner Up Award" for "Nevermind" and the "Steadiness Award" for "Werner".
Congrats to all drivers, thank you, ladies and gentleman, for an exiting opening of the season. The Pontiac51 Raceway will be back in 3 or 4 weeks. Till then, go fast, turn left...
