Race :: Round 05 - A Crowded Field

At the front, Norway's Megane Omalie fumbles the gears and cannot accelerate yet away, but no matter as the car continues to press ahead at the lead of the pack. Behind, Belgium makes a move to the outside and challenges Sweden's famed Shark for 2nd place. Vitez Rychly of Czechoslovakia makes a dash forward to pass Monaco and take 4th position while the remainder of the pack crowds up together as they slam through the gears to gain speed. The drivers are already preparing a breakaway once they shift into 3rd and 4th Gear, but for now, they remain cautious and clear of one another through this, the most critical phase of the start. Black smoke and exhaust fumes fill the air, reducing visibility despite the breeze coming in off of the Mediterranean. At the back, Spain’s Teide Sorolla, known as the "Volcán", appears to be biding his time for now, shifting to the far left lane instead of racing straight on to keep a close gap with the cars ahead. It appears he is staying clear of the tight field ahead for now.
