Pictures on their official site - wow, looks like they improved an already very impressive facility! Looks like some good close racing, shame about the 6 cell rule.
No Xray team there :O ...... after how well Teemu (especially) did at the TITC thought they may have wanted to get some testing done on the new surface and would really be a challenger.
Cheers for the updates Scotty, keep em comin' !!!!!!!

Barley got round 4 complete. Sky is really looking scary and thunder in the far distance. But we got it in..
Fastest run for the weekend.. Marc comes out on lap one and lays down a 15.4 lap. And continues to run flawless for the entire 5 min almost going 20 laps. Jilles Groskamp with another good run and as I congratulated him as he walked off the stand he said it was on old tires! Here is the top 10 for the round
Here are the current standings using the drivers best 2 out of the 4 rounds. If we get the next round in, we will use best 3 out of 5 rounds to set the mains.

You could not believe how close the bad weather came at the end of round 5. As the last group started the sky got very dark and the wind started picking up. But we were able to get it in.
A very close round with another close to perfect run by Viktor only hitting a curb on the last lap that might have cost him the 20 lap run. Here are the top 10.
VIKTOR WILCK 19 5:00.687
ATSUSHI HARA 19 5:01.3
HUPO HONIGL 19 5:05.2
MASAMI HIROSAKA 19 5:06.3
BILLY EASTON 19 5:06.4
MEEN VEJRAK 19 5:07.4
ANDY MOORE 19 5:08.1
SURIKARN 19 5:05.6

Not sure what the points are yet or who is in the top ten overall. We have to do these points on a separate computer so it takes us a bit. I will get them to you as soon as I can.
Glad you guys are enjoying these simple updates. I wish I had more time to go thru the pits and really get some good info, but just to much to do.

Rain has been coming down since the end of the round and sky is very dark. Hopefully not to much rain tonight and we can get everything rolling on time in the morning.
Thanks for following the race and I will try to give you updates throughout the day tomorrow.
Not only is Scotty an excellent announcer and race director... but he's also a superb news corrospondant!

Well A final number 1 is in the record books and it was a exciting battle. 1 of 4 drivers had a chance for the win as the race progressed. Victor Wilck took the lead at the start, Marc second and Masami got a great start from 5th on the grid to 3rd, Billy Easton from 7th got to 4th at the start. Viktor lead for the first 2 min and then caught a curb and dropped from 1st to 4th. Marc went to the inside as Viktor was flipping but he went a bit too wide and this allowed Masami to slip past Marc on the inside to take the lead going onto the straightaway, this also allowed Billy to move to 3rd placing Viktor back to 4th. For the next 2 minutes Marc applied as much pressure as he could and with 1 min to go Masami got sideways in the sweeper allowing Marc to take a look inside but was not able to make the pass. Going into the S section Marc made a small mistake allowing Billy to move to second but only for the first part of the S section as Billy hit the second corner of the S’s trying to make it a double jump. Unfortunately Billy was not able to stick the landing and dropped from 2nd to 4th. Now with less than 1 min to go it was Masami, Marc, Viktor and Billy. This is how it went to the end, Masami taking the win and getting an extra lap turning 20 laps.
Great to see you here with the updates on the race. Wish we were there right now. Can't make it due to delays.
Btw, there are lots of your pictures on the official site.
