Team Tangospeed dodges the bullet...
Team Tangospeed (Cars 17 and 20) and Mr. Abramov (Car 007, Porsche GT) made the right choice by NOT going through the roadtolls like all the others..
Teams that went through the roadtolls received a nice 500EUR fine for "participating to an illegal roadrace".

And also an update from Team 8888888 that got their Lambo impounded back in France.
Joakim and Lars are back in the game in no time, this time they will be driving a Porsche.

Boys get a "get out of jail"-card :)
All the 6 cars that were stopped, including Team Tangospeed's both cars, near the city of Condom (I know :D) were released just a while ago with only 90EUR fine and a FINAL warning.
If the teams do as much as 5km/h over the limit their cars will be impounded at that moment.
Police also had a little message for the black LP640: "If we catch you, you're going straight to jail" :)
Apparently he hasn't slowed down for any of the roadblocks :)

stay tuned..

Most of the teams are on their way to the policestation in a police escort which is
