World Championship for wing cars
Kouvola, Finland 7-12 June 2005

G-27

On thursday and friday the G-27 class was raced with 27 entries. 

Qualifying

Bill Skinner turned a 1,77 lap in the first round followed by a 1,751 lap in the bye-round and were set to win this qualifying. But as most of you already know (if you read on OWH or IMCA) this incredibly fast time was topped by Jose Mario from Brazil who drove a 1,748 lap. That Brazilian rubber seem to work well.

Eight and last heat. Peter Krcil drove 100 laps. Not much but that was the most laps done in this segment. Compare that to other segments were half of the field drove more than 100 laps.
This heat saw a lot of crashes which was the reason.
Peters 100 laps meant a lot when Vlado only had 89 laps.

With 100 laps Peter passed Vlado for the lead and win.
