This was the 4th race on the 4-lane
track and the 6th race out of 7 races in this season. The points runner up, "Viking", could not start this time as well as "McRay" and so some other racers stood up for gathering points. "Pontiac51" of course, then "Alex", his girlfriend "Nadja", "Beeli" also was here, not forgeting "Astrid" and "Lukas". On to the newbies: "Fee", "Andi", "Andre", "Wobi" and "Ulrike" were new to racing and counted in to challenge the old pro's. The qualify of "Pontiac51" and "Astrid" was redriven cause the controller on the red lane was broken. The rest
of the field looked like this:

So "Astrid", "Fee", "Wobi" and "Pontiac51" 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.

Class C was clearly dominated by "Pontiac51". Tough his bad qualify, he showed what he was here for. Only "Fee" could score a win against him, catching the lead in the very last turn.
"Nadja", "Lukas", "Andre" and "Andi" competed in
Class B.

"Nadja" (B, 10pts) and "Andre" (B, 6pts) settled the positions 9 to 12.

"Lukas" on the lead fought with "Wobi" most of the time. "Beeli" scored a win but not enough points, 7th place for him.
This was it the very best drivers in the series in one
race. "Pontiac51" (C, 36pts), "Andi" (B, 30pts), "Ulrike" (A, 26pts) and
"Alex" (A, 26pts) drove for the grand prix trophy.

"Alex" far in front, throttling down the speed in the last race for 3 points to take the overall win. "Andi" and "Pontiac51" battling for second. But on the tiebreaker it was all clear for "Andi".
So the "Grand Prix Champion Trophy" was for "Alex", also the "Pole Position Trophy", the "Eagle Woman Fast Track Award" for "Ulrike", the "Runner Up Award" for "Pontiac51" and the "Steadiness Award" for "Andre".
Congrats to all drivers, thank you, ladies and gentleman, for a great race and cu in december for the final of the '99 season...
