Round 2 of the Norwegian Winter Series was in Haakonshall in Lillehammer circuit, 200 kilometers from Oslo. It was held in the hall that was the Norwegian Olympic Hall in 1994, a very big area. The hall has a stand to accommodate 9000 seats, so it was a very big hall and a very good race. Thanks to Lillehammer model car club for the race.
