Race 22.4.07 Jurva: First trophies!
Mallas-Racing
started the season with it's best result so far. We completed a "Shake
Down" test in Botniaring race track at saturday evening, the day
before the race. All drivers got a chance to familiarize themselves with
the car and the track after the long winter period.
Everything worked fine and Mikko drove to fifth place in the grid in
qualifying session. Asko drove good first stint, but it was Mikko who
exploded the pot at the second stint. Other team members almost choke to
their coffees and sausages when it was announced that Mallas-Racing was at
the first place in overall situation! Online results were not working at
that time, so pit crew were a bit blind on that situation... ONly problem
during the race was one front tyre that had to be changed because the
rubber peeled off after locking the brakes few times. Mallas succeeded to
use the Safety Cars for changeng the drivers and filling up the gas,
unfortunately at the last stint we were forced to make one extra pitstop
because the gas was so low. Afterall we finished 7th overall and 5th in
our own class! That ment that it was the first time Mallas got trophies
with our own car! This is a good start for the season!
