Vitez Rychly's orange Bugatti surges forward to pass Germany and Portugal, skidding toward Storkurvan. The Czech dashes through the pack, dodging right and leaving bits of his tire chain on the course behind. Yet the gamble appears to have paid off – he takes the car into a fast breakaway, leaving the others stunned at his audacity. Germany, Belgium, Portugal and the rest had shifted down to carefully manage the curve, and therefore remain close together. Yet again, despite the tight press of the racers, there are no collisions! Only Rychly is now clear of the pack!
Meanwhile, Denmark's young ice racer, Diederik Olsen, quickly slides around the outside of the curve, coming in tightly behind the Belgian's bright yellow Duesenberg. Yet Olsen carries too much speed and everyone watches as he frantically brakes and shifts down. Clearly, he has misjudged the curve. The Scottish nationalist, Alastair MacDougall, flies forward to close the gap directly behind the British car driven by John Milk. Now, the two Amilcar's are scant inches apart! Even at these speeds, the Englishman can see behind the wild-eyed look of the Scot, his nostrils flaring as he looks all the part of a fighter ace descending on his prey....
At the rear, Sweden and Switzerland cruise forward, satisfied to hold some distance from the pack ahead, while Finland continues to drag, falling farther behind.
