The Start of “ENEOS 1006 km race“
Calm before the storm – the best way to describe the atmosphere on Saturday morning. Sasha Song performed Lithuanian anthem, Darius Jonušis greeted everyone and the mayor of Palanga finally said the words “Ladies and gentlemen, turn on your engines!“.
“I am glad that our effort through years didn‘t go in vain, so happy to watch the race for the 18th time“ said Romas Austinskas, car sport federation president.
The prediction that this race is going to be very intersting and unexpected is right. From the first laps the winner of qualification “Exit Palanga by Algirdai“ team is already in the fourth position.
However, the most dissapointed feels the teams that didn‘t make it to the start line, from 41 teams 3 had technical problems and couldn‘t start in the race: “Cor Euser“ from the Netherlands, “Gera dovana“ and “VDS Racing“ from Lithuania.
