2005 A1GP Championship - Round 3 - Estoril

Flibster · 23 Oct 2005 at 13:09

Ouch - bike race last night...

One of the drivers *Australia I think* came off *with the help of another driver...* and now has his arm and hand bandaged.

Suppose thats one way to get ahead.

Lebanon and Austrai at it through the first 4 corners or so - sie by side through most of it.

Lebanon goes off the track into the kitty litter and gives Austria the place.

USA gets alongside Germany at Turn 1, beautifully taken in turn 2 - then goes wide at turn 3 and gives germany back the place.

This is good racing.
