Well splendent bronze-medal in the Europe Cup opening

The opening run of the mountain Europe Cup in Austria wasn’t hard just because of the rain. In spite of this László Szász from Székesfehérvár got  bronze medal in this race. On the other hand his teammate, the Spanish Ander Vilarino crashed over and broke his car into pieces.

The preparation of the Szász Motorsport for the first Austrian run in the mountain Europe Cup _ which was held on the 28 th and 30 th of April _ begun with difficulty. Two or three days before the run the computer of the Reynard Zytek motor of the Forma 3000 car went wrong. But fortunately the new computer arrived on Friday evening, so the testing could begin on Saturday morning. The champion of 2005, the 27 year old Ander Vilarino and his sister, the 21 year old Angela Vilarino also start in the Szász team. It is true, that Angelina starts in the 2000 cubic centimetre categhory.      
In the last year there was dry weather, but in this year it was raining all day and it was snowing, when the race begun on Sunday morning. Cold weather like this wasn’t perfect for the race, because the normal heat of the tyres is 80 degrees, but in that case it worked just on 20 degrees ( it is a new rule from this year, that the tyres aren’t allowed to be heated). The test was on Saturday, when László Szász ran a 2 minutes 28 seconds time on the 5050 meter, rising track. This is his best time in the Forma 3000 cathegory. His teammate, Ander Vilarino slided with his car in a curve. His car crashed over and landed on the field under the track. The young pilot wasn’t injured seriously, but his knee had to be operated.
The cars go along twice on the mountain road in Rechberg, which normally works a public road. The final result is the sum of this two run.
Szász revised his Saturday result in the first run on Sunday, so he had the fourth place. In the second run his car could comply with the circumstances in the rainy weather, so he deserved the bronze roller ring. The young Angela Villarino also did her best, she had the second place in her cathegory.
A next race of the Mountain Europe Cup, which was remaked from the Europe Cup, will be between on the 12 th and the 14 th of May in Spain.
