On Friday evening a special meet the drivers event ended with a race on the model track between the drivers, members of the media and a fan.

Nicki Thiim (no90 TF Sport), Filipe Albuquerque (no32 United Autosports) and Martin Hippe (no13 Inter Europol Competition) were the three drivers taking part and while the cars were scale models their determination to win was no different than if they were in their full size race cars.

The race was held over four minutes with the drivers being paired with a journalist and one lucky fan also got to compete as well.

In the end it was Nicki Thiim who celebrated, we just didn't have a model bottle of champagne for him to spray over the podium.  The Dane will be hoping that this brings him luck for qualifying later today.
