Armin Schwarz wins Class 1 SCORE San Felipe 250
CLASS 1 ARMIN SCHWARZ, No. 104 (first) — Co-driver Martin Christensen, who finished the race, said: It’s an unbelievable day for the German team. It’s a very, very extreme course. We’re very excited about coming in first. Armin did a good job giving me the car. The car was much faster than we anticipated. (upon learning his team had won by 12 seconds) It’s fantastic. When you drive almost 250 miles and it comes down to 12 seconds, that’s just crazy. We had issues with the car and we knew we would be right on the edge, but we wanted to finish.
Former World Rally Championship star driver Armin Schwarz, of Germany, and Martin Christensen, Escondido, Calif., split the driving to finish fourth overall and capture the unlimited Class 1 race win in a BMW-powered Jimco open-wheel desert race car. With just over one year of experience in SCORE desert racing, Schwarz pulled off his first SCORE win while the veteran former SCORE class champion Christensen earned his first ever win in Class 1.
With a time of 4:08:22 and an average speed of 56.02mph, it was also the first time a BMW-powered vehicle has ever won a class in a SCORE race.
