imgp9752_0The G-Force Motorsport team was waiting for its crew - Alexey Denisov/Dmitriy Kozhukhov (№219, class Т2) - with poorly hidden anxiety and fingers crossed. It was the fight for a podium place. But first came to the Parc Ferme winner Konstantin Zhil'tsov... Then some more crews... Everybody kept silence.


15 minutes... 20 minutes... And only 21 minutes later did appear from around a corner the orange-white Nissan Patrol with the bonnet tied up by some rags and the windscreen broken... The answer for question "How come?" was very surprising: the hood locks were ripped off its bracers... We mean completely ripped off.

However, according to the provisional results, the crew of Alexey Denisov/Dmitriy Kozhukhov did occupy 3rd place in the T2 category!
