Race :: Round 45 - The Volcán’s Moment!
Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board
Orsi slides smoothly into the Place Masséna curve, smiling as he waves to the crowd of cheering Italians, his red silk scarf snapping in the breeze behind. Yet the fickle attention of the crowd shifts. Yet all turn to look behind the Maserati. Ignoring the track ahead, Orsi twists to glance back at an astonishing sight! Immediately behind, skidding through the curve at Avenue de la Victoire, Britain's John Milk fights to control his Amilcar C6 -- holding on at the edge of now certain disaster! Afterward, the great blue Salmson of France's Aristide La Fontaine maneuvers into the curve, closely hounded by both Bugattis of Belgium and Switzerland. Yet what’s this? Through the mix, in a flash of black and in perfect command of his racer, Spain's Teide Sorolla explodes into the corner from behind. It is the Volcán’s moment!! As one, the crowd roars, joined even by the Italians in admiration of such an extraordinary attack on the lead! Moments before, Italy had seemed nearly assured of victory, but now it is once again an all-out race for the lead as both cars come within a few lengths of one another. And Spain has come up from the back of the pack! Still, Orsi remains in a commanding position, but the gauntlet has been thrown! It is a moment of driving brilliance every bit like Orsi's own stunning dash down the straight to Avenue de la Victoire, setting up the Spaniard for a clear challenge of the lead.
