As shown by the race on a fast ring near Birmingham, the participants in the European truck racing in the off season does not sit idly by. All teams were able to make tangible progress that has made the fight much more acute and interesting. In each of the four races of the first stage the spectators saw a lot of overtaking and driver line-up on podium every time turned out to be new. The only Russian participant of European Championship – Alexander Lvov – have never before appeared in Donington Park, for the pilot to command Team Allgauer took some time to find a common language with her, which prevented the rise above the 12-th place in the first qualification. But later the St. Petersburg racer has looked noticeably better. In each of the races he had a good start, right otygryvaya several positions. However, in the later events have evolved differently. In the first race of Saturday's Lions, along with partner Stuart Oliver broke through the top, but at some point, racers had misunderstood the intentions of each other, two yellow truck MAN touched – and appeared on the runway safety. Russian and British back on track, Alexander was able to break through from last place at 11-s, but the more he did not have enough time.

The Sunday program started for St. Petersburg people with a ninth place in the final stage of the race he went and did the fourth, but was forced to slow down because of the changed behavior of the machine – and eventually finished 11 th. Following the visit to Donington Park Alexander Lvov earned six points, but there is no doubt that succeeding stages will develop for it more successfully. The closest of them will be May 21-22 in Italian Misano.

It is fast, with blind bends and a large height difference is almost entirely traversed in top gear, which is very unusual. The weekend turned out difficult primarily because the results were much denser. By speed I give the leaders less than last year, but the protocol to provide further! So up to the stage we will need to carefully analyze the data and understand where we can add. On this team has nearly a month, then expects us to continue the season on familiar routes. I am sure that there we can achieve better results ultatov.
