Automobile Mountain Climb Race Cividale 2008
Andreas Gabat wins the Austrian Automobile Mountain Climb Championship 2008
The last and deciding race for the Austrian Automobile Mountain Climb Championship 2008 took place in the picturesque Cividale del Friuli in Italy. The very selective 6,6km long road track runs from Cividale to the 450m higher Castlemonte, a beautiful place of pilgrimage.
Excellent weather and a couple thousand spectators were anxiously awaiting the final race for the championship.
Everybody was concentrating on the dream like duel between the two competitors Herbert Pregartner with his Porsche GT2 and ist unbelievable power of 950Hp and Andreas Gabat with his Black Beast and 830Hp.
The training was running perfect for Andy Gabat. With a time of 3min 36,60sec he achieved the best time in the touring car class, over 9sec quicker than Herbert Pregartner.
However, the first run in the race brought a big surprise. Herbert Pregartner raced to the best time of 3min 35,96sec which was 2sec faster than Andy Gabat who crossed the finish line in 3min 38,04sec.
Obviousely not very happy about this result, Andy Gabat studied the course a couple of times more and with the logged data from the first race on hand he decided to take the full but calculated risk in the last run of the race.
Herbert Pregartner was the first one to race of the two competitors and improved his previous time by an unbelievable 2sec. Than Andy Gabat had his turn and it was clear to him that he would tickle the last out of his Gabat Cossi.
The team of Herbert Pregartner was convinced at this time that Andy Gabat will not be able to equalize the more than 2sec gap and will therefore not be able to win the race. But than the out cry of victory coming from the Gabat Team was going through the drivers camp.
An almost impossible best time of 3min 30,632sec for Andy Gabat after crossing the finishing line. An improvement of more than 7sec secured the race win for Andy Gabat in front of Herbert Pregartner and Felix Pailer with his Lancia Delta Integrale.
With this result in this last race Andy Gabat was also winning the Austrian Automobile Mountain Climb Championship 2008 in front of Herbert Pregartner and Felix Pailer. Andy was winning this championship in his first year of racing in this competition.
The Gabat Team is thanking all his sponsors and everyone who assisted the team and is looking forward to an hopefully also successful season 2009.
All the best your
