"Pontiac51" winning this class, but what a race for the second place in the A final. "Suom" finaly did it. Careful racing here.
 
In class A there were  "Castor", "Viking", "Inventor" and "Nathalie".
 
Class A

Viking 10/10 10/10 10/10 10/10 80 A
 
Nothing would stop "Viking" in this class, tough some victories were close. "Nathalie" kept finishing in mind and so she sliped by "Castor" and "Inventor" quite often.
 
In the B final "Reaper", "Inventor", "Manuel" and "Castor" would settle positions 5-8.
 
B-Final

Reaper 4/6 10/- 10/6 -/- 36 7.

Castor 6/4 10/6 10/10 -/- 46 5.
Manuel -/10 -/10 6/10 6/- 42 6.
 
Good close racing here, tough 4 restarts cause of accidents and lane change "professor" "Inventor".
 
"Viking" and "Pontiac51", old friends in final rounds against "Nathalie" and "Suom".
 
A-Final
Driver\Lane Yellow Blue Red Green pts. pos.
Nathalie 3/6 6/4 -/- 3/4 26 3.
Pontiac51 6/6 8/10 10/- 6/10 56 1.
Suom -/6 4/- 4/- 3/6 23 4.
Viking 4/10 10/- 10/10 8/- 52 2.
 
The first race in this heat was so close that nobody could tell who won, so "Pontiac51" and "Viking" both were given 8 pts. The duell continued till in the end "Viking" with 4 victories, 1 3rd place and 2 DNF's lost against "Pontiac51" with only 3 victories, 3 2nd places and 1 DNF.
 
So the "Grand Prix Champion Trophy" was for "Pontiac51". The "Pole Position Trophy" for "Viking", the "Runner Up Award" for "Nathalie" and the "Steadiness Award" for "Inventor".
 
Congrats to all drivers, thank you, ladies and gentleman, for an exiting race. The Pontiac51 Raceway will be back in 2 or 3 weeks. Till then, go fast, turn left...
