Team Into The Red now holds a solid 4th place in the simracingclub.dk Championship, after a tumultus race. The black Ford Capri of Norup fell from Q3 on the grid to next-to-last after a pile-up in the hairpin. Says Norup: 'The system warped and I collided with Pelle Buchner's Capri and a number of other cars during the lag I experienced afterwards, but I managed to continue in a bent car'. Norup rose to P6 although he never clocked one single fast lap. Michael Ryhl drove a similar Ford Capri with an inverted colour scheme. He started the race from P13, but utilized the commotion in the hairpin to advance 5 slots, a position he held until the car lost grip and spun out.

	The two Capris of Scuderia ITR raced for several laps in close company, until Ryhl let Norup by. 'I felt that Anton had a faster pace and my front-end grip was disappearing, so I let him pass', said Michael Ryhl afterwards. 'But I regained control and managed to hang onto the black car, but ended up P8 - I'm satisfied', smiles a happy Ryhl. The ITR Capris have shown flown the Maranello flag - Forza!
