Oschersleben was anything but uneventful. Tex was on pole with Zoomy second and HiWind third. Tex had a really slow start allowing both Zoomy and HiWind past. Quickly getting up to speed, Tex was right on HiWind's tail putting on the pressure. HiWind finally succumbed at turn 9 when he went too close to the curb causing him to get off course and slow down. This allowed Tex to get past him on the outside.
Zoomy was soon having problems of his own. Pushing hard, he locked up his brakes going into the last corner and ended up going off of the track into the gravel trap. Fortunately he was able to keep his car moving and got back out onto the track.
No one was immune from troubles today, it seems, as Tex missed a downshift going into turn 3 on lap 2 and spun out to the inside. Both HiWind and Zoomy got by easily.
Zoomy was right on the leader's tail, beatin' and bangin' on his bumper trying to get him to make a mistake but HiWind held him off until the last corner where Zoomy, once again, drove straight off with his brake lock up problems.
Lap 3 saw HiWind in the lead with Tex a couple of seconds behind. HiWind could see that Tex was gaining on him and was pushing hard. A bit too hard as it turns out as he locked up his brakes going into the turn 10/11 chicane, sliding off the track, allowing Tex to re-take the lead. That also allowed Zoomy to catch up which proved costly as Zoomy ended up knocking HiWind off of the track at the last corner.
Lap 4 and 5 saw Tex in the lead with Zoomy in hot pursuit but unable to make up any ground with the race finishing in that order. Tex in 1st, Zoomy 2nd and HiWind 3rd.
