Early retirement for Gelin in Thursdayrace
Gelin qualyfied in as the 20th of 26 drivers and felt confident going into the 31 lap race. He climed to 16th on lap one before disaster stroke. He spun in the last corner on lap one and got hit by two or three drivers. He tryed to continue but after three laps he had to retire due to big damage to the rear of the car. A pity, Gelin says who were under team-orders to finnish. Now we're looking forward to AARC Round 1 wich both Gelin and Jonathan will participate in.
Cheers
