5th round Santa Pod England
This year we did not enter Finland, but still it does look like a possible 2. or 3. place in the Championship.
Theoretically Dan could get the Title, if Ulf looses in first round, and Dan wins the race and keep Leif behind him, but Dan also has to get the low ET or someone else does, but Ulf. Also Ulf must not get more than 2 spots better qualifyed than Dan.
More likely though, is to get the second spot, if Dan keeps Leif behind him, Dan is only 5 points behind Leif.
But we also have to keep an eye on Danny who is only 46 behind and Jarmo who is 50 points behind Dan.

What happened was, that Leif Andreasson went out before first round. Danny Bellio made a redligt in first round against Ulf Leanders, and Dan luckely took Jarmo Kuutniemi out en first round. Then Ulf had the Championship Tittle and Dan got the #2 spot in the championship.
After Dan taking out Steph Milam in Semi Finals, the finals was between Ulf and Dan.
This was historical, as Dan and Ulf has been in the finals at European Finals at Santa Pod 3 times before since 2003.
But this time Ulf got to the finishline first and won the finals with almost identical ET's at 6,0396 to Dans 6,0399
