Dominating win for Switzerland in Sprint Race.........

Post by mlittle » Mon Apr 14, 2008 3:00 am

Former ChampCar driver Neel Jani put on a driving exhibition in Sunday's sprint race at Shanghai, never being seriously challenged during the 10-lap race to take the win and stretch Switzerland's overall lead in the A1GP standings.........the only incident of note involved "Black Beauty"(a/k/a New Zealand) and the "We the People"(a/k/a United States) entries; starting next to each other, they somehow managed to take each other out during the sprint race's rolling start and finished 22nd and 21st respectively.(........... :shock: :shock: :evil: .............)

1st} Switzerland.....................................10 laps

Prior to today's Feature Race at Shanghai, 15 nations had captured at least one win in A1GP competition........add the Red, White and Blue to that list. Fighting a wrist injury suffered in the sprint race, Team USA's Jonathan Summerton got the jump on Swiss driver Neel Jani at the drop of the lights, taking the lead and never looking back.....joining him on the podium were Portugal's Felipe Albuquerque, who notched his third podium in six starts, and Ireland's Adam Carroll, who finished in third.
