Uwe Schürkamp The big question for me was not who was going to win this race, but by how much Hristo would mop the floor with us mere mortals for his comeback screamers race. Qualifying confirmed my fears with Hristo running away with it, and I was a bit shocked to find myself in 7th and I thought "well, it looks like it's back to the middle of the Gauss curve with all the aliens around" ;-) I couldn't go any faster than 57.2xx in quali, and that sub 57 that had been eluding me for the last couple of weeks continued to do so during quali. I decided to take it easy during the race, placing my bets on high attrition and the amount of traffic this track would provide. My start was another one in the "oh gawd, that sucked!" category, and Jo managed to slip by putting me into 8th, but then proceeded to crash into the nasty haybales at the top of the hill a couple of laps later. That left Oli in front of me, and I managed the gap the best I could, so I wasn't too sad when I saw Andi losing the rear end in turn 2 which both put us up a notch. Oli seemed to have a problem later on and I was able to overtake him exiting turn 2 a couple of laps later, from there on it was all cruising as I knew I'd be no match for Stacey, Hristo and Lars on the track, so all the additional spots I gained were welcome additions to the points tally. I pitted after my 50 litres of fuel were nearly gone, only to find my over-eager mechanics changing the rear tyres which cost me another 20 seconds. New fronts would have been welcome, but the rears would have been good for another 45 laps ;-) Investigations are underway, but I suspect a highly frustrated Lars or Andy bribing them for the additional 20 secs that cost me. ;-) No harm done however as the gaps were large enough. I'd never have hoped for 2nd (let alone a podium finish) in this highly contested race, but I won't refuse the glory, either. Congrats to Stacey for another comfortable win (just how he managed 0 incidents here at Lienz I'll never know, but I suspect illegal yet undetectable alien shield technology on his Beemer), and also to Andi for clawing his way back into 3rd after initial difficulties. Good drive by Grimmi too, it goes to show how a race with few incidents can result in a good finishing position all by itself!
