2016 Season 1 and round 7, Oslo

Oslo was very first VRC V3 track. A short fast track with a few tricky corners to get right, especially the end of the backstraight.

TIMED PRACTICE

In timed practice it looked that Canadian driver Robert Woloschuk and Finland`s J-P.Huhtala was setting the pace to others. But finally Italian talent, Andrea Giordano beated those two with two seconds margin. Andrea`s average laptime was 14.879, and this gave a little direction to others what pace should be, if you wanted to be on top. Huhtala`s and Woloschuk`s average was one 10th slower. Fourth fastest in this round was Philippe Gross from Switzerland. Philippe was eight seconds behind Giordano, and average was over 0.4 secods slower than Giordano`s. But this was so early stage in this event, and everybody was just getting miliar with this track.
