Round 8 of the TBR 2008 FBMW Championship

Posted by Andreas Hultgren on TBR|

Last weekends saw a thrilling round of the teams championship as it was time for round 8 at Valencia. The first five laps were the most intence racing of the season so far as Andreas Hultgren went from 4th to 1st after the first 100 meters only to lose to 4th again a lap later. Ben Buitendijk who took over the lead would pull out a gap of over seven seconds on the followin group.

Andreas, Mikael Hellen, David Cuthill and David Garcia all swapped places during the first part of the race but as soon Mikael hit the front of the pack he would pull away from the rest and gain second after second on Ben.

Ben would in the end manage to cross the finish line first after Mikael had both cought him and making a mistake. A mistake that nearly costh him 3rd because of a broken front wing. Mikael biggest rival, Andreas, would finish just a couple of seconds behind in while David Cuthill would end up in 4th.
