Race Report
Andreas Myrberg wins the Swedish PTCC championships 2000!
March
3-4 2000--The PTCC winterseries had it's final race in Viksafors just
outside of Borås in Sweden. Associated driver Andreas Myrberg with his LRP &
Futaba equiped TC3 car was together with the fast Bengt Andersson (Schumacher)
the fastest on the track from the first practice on. They were in their own
league in qualifying with Andreas just knocking off Bengt on his pole time in
the 4th round with a fast 20 lap 1.6 sec. heat. Bengt was just behind him with
an 2.05 final lap time (5 min heats). Then there was an 4 second jump to the
remaining 6 drivers that made the final (only 8 cars in each final - too small
of a driver's stand). Associated TC3 cars were the most frequent in the final
with 3 cars - the other two were Marcus Berglund (Reedy Fury MW 9T & R3K WC) in
6th place and Arvid Stenberg (LRP equipped) in 7th place.
 The challenging new layout of the Viskafors track. The carpet is
completely stapled to the floor. A normal fast lap was about 15.2 seconds. Andreas and
Bengt were the only two that frequently put in 14 sec times. In the third A-final Andreas
did an really fast 14.58 seconds that was a track record; he also did the only 21 lap in
that final. |
 This
is the first turn in the first A-final. you'll have to excuse the blurry picture but the
digital camera isn't really suited for action pics! Andreas is in the lead anyway with
Bengt just behind him. The red & black car has just spun-out, it's Fredrik Mathiesen's
Schumacher car. |
