This was the 2nd race on the 4-lane
track and the 4th race for the cup. The rookie of the race was "Alex".
All other drivers tested the track in the sunday free practice session.
The field contained known names like "Mondial7", leader in the points,
"McRay" and of course "Pontiac51". The others were new to racing but in
no means uncompetitive. So "Christina" had the track record on sunday as
she started, but then it was broken by "Viking". The field was rounded
out by "Beeli" and "Rudolf". Tough "Viking" had the track record, "Pontiac51"
stole away the pole by 0,0546 secs. The rest of the field looked like this:

So "McRay", "Wolfgang", "Rudolf" and "Christina" competed
in Round 1. Race was run as this: slowest driver chooses lane, fastest
driver chooses car, then after 2 races in the same configuration the controllers
are swapped, so everyone races each car on each lane for 2 times. This
means 8 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.

"Alex", "Mondial7", "Beeli" and "Pontiac51" competed in
Round 2. Round 2 was tougher and tighter as the first one. "Pontiac51"
lost his head often in the duell with "Mondial7", but if he kept it, he
won.

ready for the B-Final. Here all "Downers" would compeat against each other.
These were "Christina" (16pts), "Rudolf" (34pts), "Pontiac51" (30pts) and
"Alex" (30pts). The last 2 drove a tiebreaker to settle positions. The
B-Final was won by "Pontiac51", obdue he "gifted" "Alex" with 3 victories.

The A-Final was won by "Viking", who was the favourit after his track record in sunday free practice. "Mondial7" had some kind of "black-out".
"McRay" tried to keep up with "Viking" but lost this duell. Man of the
race was "Beeli", he was the one and only to finish 4th and collected the
3 important points for finishing 2nd. He really practiced the NASCAR rule
"...to keep out of trouble and finish."

"Viking" won the "Grand Prix Champion Trophy". The "Runner-Up" of the race was "Beeli", the "Pole Position Trophy" was for "Pontiac51" and the "Steadiness Award" was for "Christina". The "Fastest Lady Award" was not prized since there was only one lady on the track. Then a winner's photo was taken, followed by the classical shower of champagne. Congrats to all drivers and cu next race...
