Chardon Senior wins the “Top Score” competition, the Prize of Fa. Horsch, Der Entsorger, followed by Chardon Junior
In addition to skilful driving and precision in the “Top Score” competition, the Prize of Fa. Horsch, Der Entsorger, the four-in-hand drivers have to demonstrate strategic skills. The Chardon family mastered these tasks best today.
In the Prize of Fa. Horsch, Der Entsorger, there is no predefined order in which the four-in-hand drivers have to pass through the obstacles, they can choose their route themselves. They have to collect as many points as possible within the fastest time, but within three minutes at the maximum. The different obstacles are worth a varying number of points, depending on the level of difficulty. Each obstacle can only be driven through twice.
The Dutch driver, Ijsbrand Chardon, came up with the best tactics today. He may not have been the fastest driver on the track, but he certainly collected the most points, 1910 to be exact. His son Bram was faster, but he didn’t quite match his father’s score. He notched up 1870 points. The Australian driver, Boyd Exell, who lives in the Netherlands, collected only 10 points less, which secured him third place.
