Internationale Meisterschaft XV
– August 11, 2020 @ The Ring –
Eleven new entries covering 5 classes would descend on the Ring to compete alongside returning entries to form a field of 34 primary and backup runners. Top spot in hot rods was separated by less than 6/10 of a second… the field of sportscars finished within 3 laps while sportscar plus was separated by just a single lap… and more close heats than one can remember in recent memory…
