Carrera class
With only twelve cars the grid of the Carrera class was a little bit disappointing.
The qualifying of the final race of the Oldtimer Grand Prix 2003 saw Matthias in front
of Juergen and "Skottie". The top group was completed by Jens Badenkopf who is known
not to show his car's potential in qualifying.
The first race was dominated by Christoph Vennbur's McLaren M8A with 140.15 laps
followed by Tommy, Ralf Schaffland [Jan's Dad] and Karl Janda with his Porsche 917 "pink pig".
Race two saw four King Cobras, all driven by the "boys from the west".
After heat 3 Thomas Sasse was clearly in front, followed by Johannes. Jan had a nice battle
with "Dr.Evermann". In the last heat Johannes had the slowest lane with black,
Jan and "Dr.Evermann" tried to figure out who was in reach for a final attack.
But you can't sell the bearskin before catching the bear! With three seconds
left [appr. 3/10 of a lap!] Johannes [139.08 laps] and "Dr.Evermann"
[138.68 laps] went into the straw bales! When the amperes were down
"little" Jan's King Cobra [139.43 laps] overtook Thomas Sasse [by 0.03 laps]
simply rolling deeper into the donut.
