Tragedy at the French Grand Prix

Rain, rain and more rain. The French Grand Prix greeted teams with a challenging track and lots of rain and sliding around. This led 13 crashes, and only 5 out of 10 teams finishing the race.

The heartbreak was complete from start to finish. With cars crashing out on the first lap and the last.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, went right. Some low lights of note are; the pole position winner stalled on the start, the French team crashed their first car not far from the start and their entire team crashed out before the third lap, and the German team, with the finish line in sight and, the victory within grasp, overshot the last corner by two spaces and crashed.

The only bright light for the entire race was the UKDMA team who's car suffered hardly a scratch and he pushed into the lead after the ADAC team crashed.

Everyone left the field feeling dirty and broken. Will there be any teams even able to race in two weeks when the attention turns to the sunny South of France for the very fast Grand Prix d'Nice.

Here is the map for the next race.

It's time for a new campaign...
