Solvang to race!
Andre Solvang’s team burned the midnight oil last night and repaired his APX motor.
Fortunately, the mid-section part that broke was identical to one in the Mercury Optimax, and a spare part was quickly found.
The Norwegian will take part in free practice and will start from the back of the grid for the race this afternoon.
