Le Most

On Thursday 14th August 2008, there was the fourth year of the holiday race, tradition of which goes back to 2005. The organizers had a prearranged agreement to have a 24-hour race in Brno, however, thanks to rather flabby attitude of the co-organizer, the event had to be cancelled about a month before its term. That caused withdrawal symptoms amongst the participants and the need to compensate for the broken hearts, ready to take part in something as extraordinary as a 24-hour race.

With the understanding and help of the management of the Most Circuit they managed to find a single possible free term in otherwise full schedule of events. It was a weekday though, but where is a will there is time. The event went pretty well and therefore it found a regular time in the calendar of the amateur races ALS. .This year went in a relaxed pace, which is the sign that organizers have mastered their jobs, the participants have learned to conrol their cars and their tempers better, or it all was just a coincidence, which often swings the weight in this world without a question. .The flying start was at elevent and the chequred flag put a stop to it exactly at seventeen hundred of the local time. Back in military, we used to say nothing extraordinary happened on my duty and the same could be said about the race. Of course, the "Marians", whose Subaru did not make to the end, or the guys from Bandi team, whose Corrado gave up pretty soon as well, would probably think otherwise. As well as the adrenalin shot for those, whose mysterious problem with telemetry made them fret around in the desperate need for some reliable informartion source. .The weather was pleasantly summerlike but not the schorchig hot as it often is the case in August, so we could be getting ready for the autumn 9-hour race at the same place but with the date of October 18. It would be nice to save some of the heat, as the autumn races usually see the cats and dogs raining. Although that suits the cars very well, for the men in the paddock it is a purgatory. Moreover, too much grog is not recommended. .Jura Benes.See the results on http://www.arcbrno.cz/file/article-files/Vysledkova-listina-6-hodin-LE-MOST-2008.pdf.
