Fantastic race weekend for Ilkka at Detroit !
March 4th, 2008
Fantastic race weekend for Ilkka Haapala at Detroit, in the VMS league.
Carrying 54kg of extra weight on the tight street circuit of Detroit didn't make things easy, but he still managed to get the pole position, and went for the win in race one !
Race two however was another story. Starting 10th on the grid, Ilkka patiently but surely made his way up to the 2nd position, putting pressure on the leading BMW's, but no opportunity came up before they crossed the finish line.
With 5 races done and 4 races remaining, Ilkka currently leads the championship with a 41 pt gap. Next stop at Oschersleben, March 16th !
