Race :: Round 04 - Black Smoke & Deafening Roar

Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board

At the front, Norway's Megane Omalie now shifts up in a mad dash to be the first to the hairpin, further gapping the field to translate a perfect start into a stunning early lead. The rest of the cars dash forward, the circuit and racers nearly obscured now in black smoke from the fires of the engines as they battle onto the broad beachside avenue that is the Promenade des Anglais. None stall -- and the starting grid is now crowded in this, the most dangerous moment of the race. All makes are now in a desperate dash for early advantage, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and, at the back, a highly modified Chrysler Special in the hands of Finland's daring driver, Tavho Myrsky. Myrsky, who was faster running to his car, is now shifting into 2nd Gear and he sprints forward and dodges to the left to pass behind the others even as they pull out onto the course. Ahead is a clear lane, but will it remain so in the desperate mêlée to come? Will the famed ice racer show Nice the daring and cold nerve that made him one of the best racers in the Scandinavian winter?
