Belgium's Victor Hugo Stéphane continues to dominate in the lead position. The great American Duesenberg racer roars around Storkurvan with perfection. Norway, Italy and Monaco hold position, taking a conservative line, while the British racer overtakes Germany on the inside to come up alongside de Montignac.Farther back, the Czech racer, Vitez Rychly, shifts down and brilliantly slides into the inside lane of the Höksböjen curve, neatly cutting past the Scot, Alastair MacDougall. The saltire-painted Amilcar falls short and MacDougall watches sadly as the orange Bugatti dashes past, continuing his climb back toward the lead pack. Over the past half lap, Rychly has steadily moved up, challenging and overtaking multiple cars as he continues to press forward, his tires and brakes fresh from the recent pit stop.
Back at Fiskekroken, Switzerland and France maneuver through the curve as they come back onto the ice. Both drivers shift up in hopes of pressing to the following curve, only inches separating their tires.
Meanwhile, the Swede, Rutger Hägglund, struggles forward on his tire chains, clattering into the entrance of the curve from behind. It is a daring move, however, given the amount of debris littering the track. Terrible luck befalls the Swede as his car takes extreme damage to the under body! In an instant, the race has now changed for the Hajen. Risking another run through more debris will likely spell disaster for the badly damaged Monza.
Finally, the Finn and the Portuguese continue their race for last place, finishing the chicane as they prepare for the dash to Fiskekroken.
