Race :: Round 38 - Hegkman Thrown Clear!

Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board

Out of the corner, Germany's white Bugatti T51A skids onto its side in a shower of sparks. It slides to a stop in the middle of the track as Hegkman is ejected from the cockpit! Belgium skids out of the corner, burning tires as Italy's Sebi Orsi presses in from behind -- everyone looking ahead at Hegkman, laid out on the track -- unconscious? Dead? There is no blood seen on his white racing tunic…. No time to know -- they must cut to the outside to avoid running him over! And Orsi is a gear up and ready to overtake Belgium down the straight toward Hôtel Ruhl. France's Aristide La Fontaine navigates through the corner at Hôtel Negresco in perfection. Then comes the Czech driver, Vitez Rychly, who shifts down further to carefully work around the hairpin curve. Ignoring the wreck of the German, the Czech looks upward with a penetrating eye -- it is now clear that VV, who in just the previous lap had been hanging over the balcony cheering on her fiancé, is nowhere to be seen. The concern on his face is evident. Meanwhile, farther back, Switzerland accelerates past Spain as Teide Sorolla cuts to the outside lane, all are now into Nice's most deadly hairpin curve. What an incredible race!! Four cars out!! Ah, but what of the Teutonic racer? How badly is he hurt?
