Race :: Round 21 - Crash at La Bridja!

Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board

At La Bridja, Britain's John Milk downshifts and makes a daring attempt to retain the lead, but cannot hold on as the car spins and then flips onto its side, sliding down the outside lane! Monaco more conservatively shifts down to 2nd Gear and, his brakes smoking, takes the curve perfectly, only to see the green Amilcar careening ahead, blocking the lane. Louis de Montignac will need to shift into the center lane to avoid a collision, but it looks like nothing can stop him from taking the checkered flag! Rychly is hot on his heels, set up for a likely 2nd place finish, as he too enters La Bridja, and Sebi Orsi, now incredibly in 3rd place, comes up to the curve. Farther back, in the second group, the Swedish shark cuts daringly through the pack from 7th place into what will now be 4th, his engine strained from over revving and smoking a cloud of white as he passes Finland with a wave. The rest of the field continues to press down the straight with Germany at the far back. Sebi Orsi of Italy is suddenly faced with an extraordinary challenge, with Sweden, Finland and Spain racing up into what may become a traffic jam in the La Bridja curve. Can Orsi retain his 3rd place position and take the podium or will the honor go to the suddenly resurgent Swede, Rutger Hägglund or even to the Finnish ice champion, Tavho Myrsky?
