Team boss Lars-Christian Brask and Palmer Audi ace Jesper Carlsen went home to Denmark last Sunday to participate in an indoor karting 'Mini Le Mans' over 2 hours and 40 minutes... and won.

The team also included managing directors of Coca Cola and Maersk, the mayor of Esbjerg where the indoor center is based along with L-C and Jesper. There were eight teams with a racing driver as captain on each team. The other participants were representatives from various well known Danish companies. Jesper reports that the best thing was that Team Brask driver advisor and Sports Cars ace John Nielsen was the captain of one team and they beat him in the game he is best at... Le Mans! OK, this was a mini Le Mans... but it counts for Jesper and L-C as you can imagine all the drivers are flat out all the way.

The trophy was huge and all the winning team members names are being engraved on it for posterity. "A perfect strategy helped us to win," says Jesper. "I think that with a strategy like that, we would do very well at the real Le Mans. L-C and I would like to thank Frank B. Troelsen from Coca Cola, Johnny Søtrup and Søren Fløe Knudsen for the great victory and a good day out."
