Awesome Racing Challenge

Ansicht 2005

akouk kept his qualifying rhythm throughout the entire 20 Km Regular race, driving the racing-yellow Alfa155 to the limit. The Italian drivers were followed a 2 pit stop tactic and at the mid-time positions were mixed temporarily. Robylu & Raska both in CLKs had a theoretical advantage over akouk’s Alfa. “It”‘s selection of the Opel Calibra paid off with a F/L point. Raska made some mistakes and missed the chance for something better. Although he overtook robylu & it to 2nd place by their 2nd pit stop, his tires were too warn up to defend against the Italians. Robylu climbed to 2nd almost immediately and “it” seized the opportunity to take 3rd at last lap, taking advantage of Raska’s mistakes. Akouk finished first with 4 AI pts. Robylu earned 3 AI pts respectively and mathematically has still chance to win the Ansicht_SE trophy.

Raska’s pride was restored after his sprint performance. The Swiss driving the handicap-less AudiTT and starting from pole pos. had no difficulty dominating the 5Km distance by more than a second ahead of his opponents. Behind him though, the battle for 2nd place was breathtaking. “it” drove very well and he was determined not to let others pass. Robylu & akouk were hunting him down furiously but “it” fended them off corner after corner and finally his effort paid off as he managed to hold second place for himself. The grid finished the race in the starting order, as everybody drove very well and the handicaps could not have been eliminated. Akouk & robylu retained their temporary classification advantages and got the first two SE podium seats. Raska & “it” were tied in the temporary classification after the Sprint, so the overall Event time was calculated to award the SE podium 3rd place
