Sebi Orsi smoothly rounds the Fiskekroken curve, confident of his lead. He turns and waves at the many fans lining the inside of the corner, much to the pleasure of the few Italians who have braved the cold to see the race. Most eyes are instead fixed upon the Norwegian and Danish drivers, who are closely behind. The roar of the crowd is deafening as they cheer on these two Scandinavian drivers, known well to those attending for past ice races across the region.

Close by, Belgium cuts into the left lane and takes the entry into the Fiskekroken curve with perfect grace. Germany is stymied by the Belgian's move. Now off his pace to enter the curve, Godeschalk Hegkman faces a sharp decision. He must either fall in behind Belgium or take the right lane. He does not hesitate – closely mirroring Orsi's Trick from moments before, he cuts to the right to block the way for any of the following cars. Together, these two cars now block the narrow roadway through the tall pines. Hegkman waves his fist at the Belgian, Victor Hugo Stéphane, who pays no heed.

Suddenly, the sound of skidding tires fills the air. Monaco flies up from behind, carrying too much speed. Louis de Montignac cuts left to avoid colliding with the German and then slams on his brakes, barely missing the white Bugatti before coming up behind the yellow Duesenberg of Belgium. De Montignac's aggressive driving technique was put to the test, but he survives the challenge by burning his brakes severely.

Both Germany and Monaco will likely shift down now to take Fiskekroken in lower gears – or will one dare a breakaway?

Also, the British Amilcar cruises smoothly out of the Barrböjen chicane. John Milk glances back casually as he accelerates the green racer. Yet he is stunned to see the blue of the Scottish Amilcar slide up from behind. Alastair MacDougall flies up into the chicane, rapidly closing the distance. It looks like it may be a close race into Fiskekroken for these two rivals.

Behind, Vitez Rychly presses ahead out of the track, shifting up into 2nd gear as he struggles to build speed and not be left too far off the pace. Once the leader of the race, he has sacrificed a commanding lead to take a pit stop and now ranks 10th in the pack. Sweden's famous Shark and the French racer pull in close, both will likely to overtake the Czech Bugatti shortly, despite his change of tires.

Portugal and Finland remain behind, both in pit stops as they finish up major work on their cars. The drivers leap into their cockpits and prepare to drive back onto the track. The Portuguese driver, Pedro Gomes, appears poised for a good start.
