Race :: Round 26 - Into the Straightaway

Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board

Pressing on, Megane Omalie of Norway shifts down and again fumbles her gear selection, failing to capitalize on the lead position as Finland speeds by, deep into the curve in 3rd Gear. Behind, Britain races past the Czech driver and Germany gears carefully up to head into the straight, dismayed to see France's Aristide La Fontaine pull alongside and ahead. Italy's Sebi Orsi cuts to the center and prosecutes the curve at Paillon, holding off Spain's pressure to overtake. Carrying a lot of speed, Orsi cannot avoid the debris now littering the length of the curve from so many previous mishaps. Farther back, Switzerland glides into Jardin Albert 1er and prepares to head toward Paillon. The bulk of the field is now on the straightaway at the Quai des États-Unis, with Finland's Tavho Myrsky now the undisputed leader of the pack after a daring pass of the Norwegian driver who seems mired in the approaches to the curve at Opéra.
