Germany not quite close enough to the back of Portugal there.

Arc · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:02

Swiss may be ok if the car was ahead of Ire before they got to the yellow, cant tell from those camera angles though.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:04

No penalty for SUI.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:04

No penalty for Switzerland - overtook before the waved yellow.

fuz · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:04

The Canadian driver is feeling the pressure from NZ

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:05

Canada under a lot of pressure from New Zealand. Holding him at bay though.

Germany trying to go round the outside of Portugal into turn 1

Nartually - doesn't work.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:05

Germany alongside Portugal into T1, Portugal defends well.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:06

Almost contact there between Germany and Portugal.

fuz · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:06

Only a matter of time before Germany get past

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:06

Portugal locks up into T8
Germany nearly loses a nose from the chop across from Portugal.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:06

Portugal locks up again - Germany alongside - takes 10th place from Portugal.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:07

Germany passes Portugal out of the final turn after running wide.

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:07

Portugal tries to take the place back again going round the outside of T1 - again - doesn't work.

fuz · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:07

The Portugal car ran far too high on the corner and Germany goes through, good racing

Final lap, should be France's race

Flibster · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:09

Final lap.

France leads by 3.3 seconds.

Looking good for France and GBR and Canada.

Brazil currently have the fastest lap.

//Mike · 9 Oct 2005 at 15:09

And France come through to win round 2 of the A1 series. GBR in second, Canada in third.
