Race Report by Georg Ellingsen
The final round was to take place at Hverven race way in Oslo 1 September, with sunny weather and nice temperature I was ready for a god day at the track.



The first qualifier I was the only one to drive 30 rounds, in the 2nd Qualifier I still had the TQ pace but Tom Erik Haaversen and Frank Andersen also got in 30 rounds, with Tom Erik only 1 second behind, for the last qualifier I wanted to try some bigger tires and harder shore for the semis to see the tire wear. In the warm up of 3rd qualifier the car felt wery god and stable, so I decided to push little bit harder to see if I could improve qual time and I set new TQ time with 3 tents.

So for the semi A I felt wery confident, I started out with even bigger tires than in the 3rd qual and right from the start I was in the lead and held that to the end of the 20 min semi and won with 84 rounds, 4 rounds in front of Frank Andersen, Ole Werner and Helge Johannessen, in semi B it was Tom Erik that took the win with 83 rounds in front of Rolf Dahl, Roger Larsen and Oyvind Andersen and with Jonny Magnussen and Morten Johansen also going to the final. For me to take the win in the series I had to finish 3 places in front of Helge.



So in the final I started first with Tom Erik 2nd and Frank 3rd, I took the lead with Tom Erik following wery close, I also have decided to refuel on 4 minutes since the engine was a bit on the thirsty side. At the 12 min mark I refueled again while still in the lead. Little later I heard the mechanic of Tom Erik called him for refueling, but in the last corner to the pits he got empty and flamed out. This gave me almost 2 rounds lead and finished the 45 minute final in the 1st place with 186 rounds 5 rounds in front of Tom Erik on 2nd And Helge Johannessen In 3rd.

This also meant that Helge and I have the same score in the series with 284 points each , But I won since I have one more win.
