After some Virtual Racing (GTX100 MotoRacer Championship) we thought that it was time to try some Reality Racing.
At 1800 hr. on the 17:th of June 1998 we get to Cart-Right City in Norrköping.

The race were set up like the following:

* 8 minutes of qualification turns. The guy with the fastest turn around the 1027 m long, 8 m wide track

* A final over 6 turns. Winner is the first who will pass the tape.
