Farther back in Storkurvan, Vitez Rychly rounds the curve with amazing precision, shifting up to set up for the chicane ahead. Close by, the German Bugatti and the Italian Maserati close in, setting up to challenge the Czech for third place.
Suddenly, the crowd gasps! Usch... A crash!! A misjudgment and... oh, the Swiss driver and the Scot are both out! Petrus de Salvion had cut to the right to round the outside of the curve – it would have been alright, but that the Scottish driver entered the curve with such speed – he fishtailed left and right, but couldn't hold it. The blue Amilcar clipped the Bugatti from behind! Both cars, damaged from earlier collisions, are now out of the race!! The field has narrowed terribly as the last lap begins....
In Fiskekroken, France pulls alongside the Finnish driver, Tavho Myrsky. The big Chrysler roars to life as the Finn presses on the gas pedal in an attempt to outrun the great big blue Salmson racer! It is a classic battle that is developing – the two largest cars on the circuit, one of American make, the other of French design, will now be in a pitched battle for position as they both accelerate down the grandstand straight. Which will show the other mercy? Which car will prove its mettle?
Meanwhile, the British Amilcar slides onto the ice, still revving high in 3rd gear. Oh! He hits some debris!! Yet it looks like he is carrying too much speed as he exits the wood line onto the lake's frozen surface! He nearly clips the wreck of the Swedish Monza as that car slams backward into the snowbank, it is now out of the race, blocking the left lane. The Portuguese driver, Pedro Gomes, displays far more control than John Milk. He slows as he enters into the curve, setting up perfectly now to advance over the hapless British driver, who must now somehow avoid a crash in the coming moments....
For the two leaders, there is only half a lap left now – just a few more curves to the checkered flag....
