Andrew Parle on pole for round 2 of the championship. Waps is 2nd, Carpman 3rd. It's go!! Carpman makes a great start, darting between Waps and Andrew, and into 2nd. Carpman has a little look up the inside of Parle into turn 1, but stays 2nd. Waps is 3rd, Moss in 4th.
Waps passes Carpman at T1 of lap 2 (inset), but oversteers off the track and the Benetton is back through. Andrew Parle quickly establishes a comfortable lead, although a technical problem ends his race early. At the rear of the field, PVT Roger begins to put Minheim under pressure.
It's all over for Minheim. The "Mad Banana" launches the Benetton into the air at the chicane, and into the barriers. Pelle is also in trouble, spinning off the track at high speed and losing his front wing. A great battle in midfield sees Christian (center) moving ahead of John Liszeo (right) and Sam Moss (left)
Indeed, the battle between the Tyrell and Mclaren drivers would last right to the chequered flag, with Liszeo coming out on top. Christian pushes hard as he closes down Waps in 2nd, but his chances of taking the place are blown by a late spin. Carpman crosses the line to take his first win of the season.
