Congrats to the winners and podium finishers of race 1 and 2!
And many thanks to every participant. It was a pleasure to have you on track! (There are some open incidents which might inflict the results afterwards.)
I had to get from Germany to Canada within a week. Unfortunately, my boss didn't give me enough money to fly over.
Instead, I had to travel by ship.
On the ship I unfortunately had no possibility to telegraph my report, therefore I can publish the Racereport not earlier than today.
In the last week there were some daring drivers who faced the longest and most dangerous race track of this year's championship.
After 80 minutes of qualifying, the spectators saw two phenomenal races. There were many remarkable duels. For example, a group of 6 drivers fought each other for a full lap.
In the end, serial winner Mac Sheperd won both races and Vesa Tolonen finished twice on the podium. Also making the podium were Nat Stevenson and Anthony M Petro, who accomplished this in his first race at THR.
In class A we could experience a fantastic fight, whereby the Mercedes could not be beaten.
In class B there were also some high class drivers on the track. Of course there were also some accidents on the narrow, difficult track. Luckily, all ended without any serious injuries.
The narrow track and the high curbs penalized every mistake immediately. Only Mac did not allow herself to be distracted by this and was able to win both races again.
23 daring drivers competed in the TCL races in Rouen.
The track is narrow and curvy and does not offer much space for overtaking maneuvers.
In Race 1 Nik Likar and Doenerfan fought each other for almost the entire race length.
But then there was a little touch. Nik's car was barely drivable after that and Doenerfan waited for his opponent gentlemanlike not to profit from the situation. In the end both lost some valuable points in the championship. Nevertheless the duel will remain in the spectators' memories.
