Bailes, Saputra and Zimmermann divide the titles in 1:12 105T

CLUB

This time we start with the closest A-Main in 1:12 10.5T Spec, which was Club level (see video). The 8 minute A-Main was between Zimmermann, Condes and Lavrentyev all the way, tossing top positions all the time. In the middle of the race it looked like Condes was running away with it having led most of it. But Lavrentyev was pressing hard with Zimmermann in the waiting seat to grab the cvhance when it would come. Lavrentyev started making small mistakes, in fact 3 times he hit the corner marker at the beginning of the back straight throwing him out of contention. Towards the end, with Condos leading, Zimmermann put more pressure on him and managed to take the lead 4 laps before the end, and didn't give it away.
