G-7 one motor
Tuesday was practice day and on wednesday we drove the G-7 one
motor
race.
24 drivers put into four "semis". The first two in each semi
moves
up to main A and the third and fourth from each semi moves up to main
B.
When both main finals are done you make a total result list based on
the
total laps in the mains.
Only one motor is allowed and you are not allowed to rebuild
it
after the semi so you both need to be quick so that you reach the main
but
also you need to save your engine so that you have something to race
with
in the main.
Semi D was won by Juha Yli-Sipola 423 laps with Petteri
Pirhonen
in second 399. These two goes to main A. Third was Tuomo Iso-Aho 390
and
