Race-1 of the Lostallo Test Event gave a breathtaking battle for 2nd. Three pilots, robylu (ITA) Jo.sk (FRA) & Raska (SWI), lead over one another through the narrow corners (and the careless AIs) for the podium.
akouk (GRE) & xxflip (POR) on the other hand drove lonely races. akouk had no rival for the checkered flag, as he led the pack for start to finish, scoring fastest lap as well. His car choice paid off, as the Opel Astra had more grip in the hair pins and made quick passes through the -s turn. xxflip was lapped down only because he got off track a lot and lost much time spinning in the gravel with the Audi TT.
The crowd loved the two red Alfa 155 and the black Mercedes CLK competing side by side all distance long. The trio separated after the 7th Km mark, as Jo.sk took advantage of some minor mistakes made by robylu & Raska. He probably would have finished 2nd but a slow pit stop dropped him 5 sec behind his rivals, a gap he could not cover over the last few laps.
Although Jo finished 4th, he got 3rd place at the overall Race-1 standings, because he made more pts from his race than Raska and also turned a faster lap.
Nowthe short Race-2 starts with the grid reversed. Could that make the difference?

The Sprint course of the Lostallo Test Event was also fascinating! The battles for 1st and 3rd were intense. The crowd loved once more the red Alfas witch gave a breathtaking sprint.
Although robylu started from 4th, he instantly closed up on Raska and challenged him hard, pushing also further up. They fought closely all distance long and once again the Italian crossed the finish line ahead. Jo.sk put up and excellent performance with the CLK. The fans were impressed by the way he squeezed the heavy chassis through the narrow raceway, getting the best out of it. But the Astra gave akouk a clear advantage. The car was generally quicker an it’s top speed disadvantage made no difference here in Switzerland. Although he started from 5th, akouk gained fast behind Jo to soon take the lead and hold it to the end.
Driving the Alfa didn’t stop robylu from collecting two precious Lap points, which kept him 2nd overall, ahead of Jo.sk, who thus needed 2 pts to overcome robylu’s qualification result advantage in case of a tie.
