Round 3 was held at the Rhein Main circuit, but this time in reversed direction. VRC Pro tracks have been optimized to allow them to be raced in both directions, and this race is proof of this concept. 2 Tracks in one!
SPORTS CLASS
For this round we decided to cover the SPORT A-Main because it was a great race to cover and to show you some other racers than the Wollanka's of VRC Pro.
The race was very much between Robert Hillman from Sweden, Christoph Dobetsberger and Andi Schari both from Austria. Hillman got off to a great start and took the lead in lap 3 never to give up that position. But in his mirrors were the 2 Austrian racers. It took Christoph till lap 13 to finally pass his fellow country racer. A late pitstop in lap 30 even got him into first place with just 4 laps to go but after he had also refueled he had to settle for 2nd place 2.7 sec. behind the leader from Sweden.

The race was very good between Robert Hillman and Andi Schari both from Austria. Hillman is off to a great start taking the lead at level 3 to give that position. But in his mirrors the 2 Austrian soldiers. It took Christoph until he was 13 to finish chasing his fellow countryman. I needed site for work. The late winner in lap 30 even got to the first spot with 4 levels to go but after reiterating that he had to settle for a second 2.7 seconds.
