The track
As you can see, small details like the carpet on the walking bridge, gives good impression.

G-7 one motor race

Saturday started with the one motor G-7 race.
Anders Gustafson took an initial lead but in the fourth heat he lost a magnet and continued to race more than four heats with one magnet missing. Mikael Silén, who was chasing Anders, took over the lead and with high pace he stormed away to an easy win. In second place was Jari Portinen and in third Juha Yli-Sipola.
