Race control immediatley decided to disqualify the competitor that smashed into Fredriks car plus another one, so Fredrik Lestrup finally landed fifth place

Some words from Fredrik (in swedish, sorry guys) and a lot of piccies from Hockenheim and the special atmosphere surrounding F1:

Hey,

Just got back from Germany, I only caught the 2nd MINI challenge race on the Sunday, missed the one on the Saturday. Fredrik had a great few laps at the start he was lucky to miss the carnage at the start! Didnt know that someone went into the back of his car, but that does explain why he lost a few places.

Will get some pics as soon as I upload them to my Flickr.
