Race :: Round 21 - Germany Overtakes Britain!

Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board

At the lead, Belgium's Victor Hugo Stéphane continues to dominate, but is too slow to take the upcoming hairpin – is he planning a pit stop? It is hard to tell.

Behind, at Lekböjen, Norway, Italy, Monaco and Britain cruise into the chicane. Yet Germany surprises the field and leaps forward in a slingshot out of Storkurvan. Hegkman overtakes Milk's British Amilcar! The white Bugatti T51 is showing its merit!

Vitez Rychly presses forward, but falls just short of entering Storkurvan, while behind, Scotland tears through the debris field without sustaining any damage. MacDougall sets up to advance, hoping to close the gap on the Czech Bugatti as the two cars race through Storkurvan.

Farther back in Höksböjen, France's Aristide La Fontaine slides to the right and cuts off the Swiss Bugatti. The two cars are tightly spaced, the Swiss nearly touching the rear of the big blue Salmson. Petrus de Salvion Bernardus grits his teeth. If he is to overtake in the curve, he will have to cut to the left and run through the debris field – yet what other option will there be? Only the outside lane is free.... Or, no.... In a flash, he recognizes another option is available, even as he realizes that the tilt of the French driver's head means that he also sees it....

Sweden continues forward while behind, both the Finn and the Portuguese drivers race one another through the curve, still side-by-side after nearly a half lap running near neck and neck in a tie for last place.
