Race :: Round 43 - Norway Crashes; Italy Soars!
Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board
Norway slides, skidding and fishtailing out of the Avenue de la Victoire curve as Megane Omalie fights the wheel. But no!! The tires are too far gone to hold the car. Helplessly, she fights it but cannot. The car flips and only her grip on the steering wheel saves her from serious injury! A low moan arises from the Nordic portion of the crowd. In the course of a single lap, the Scandinavians have gone from dominating the top three positions to complete elimination. Their disappointment is palpable. Yet the attention of the crowd swiftly shifts as Italy powers out of the curve at Hôtel Ruhl, the Maserati's engine in a low roar. Orsi shifts up expertly and the car leaps forward, flying ahead into the Victoire curve! The Italians in the crowd -- and there are many -- suddenly go wild! From a 9th place start, Sebi Orsi has stalked and clawed his way into 1st place -- and is the unchallenged leader!! The Italians surge forward against the sides of the hay bales and wattle: "Sebi! Sebi! Sebi!" If Orsi holds his car together, with victory and the speed record, the jubilant Italians will paint the city red! Farther back, England, France and Belgium work their way forward, a distant second, while Vitez Rychly fumbles his gears and falls short of the curve. Both Spain and Switzerland jockey for position close behind. The final three positions seem well established -- but now, even the last on the track places seventh overall.
