Race results

Hardly any deployments despite grandstand plinkers & booze corpses

The two races went largely smoothly for the police

The emergency services are satisfied with the outcome of the Nightrace. Only minor incidents kept the police and Red Cross busy. Among other things, one visitor suffered a heart attack and another defecated directly on the grandstand.

As great as the party mood was, the police and Red Cross emergency statistics for the Nightrace were fortunately smaller. 24 people required medical treatment, seven of whom were taken to hospital. "Mainly due to injuries from falls, there were a few drunks and one person with a heart attack. But she is doing well under the circumstances," reassured Stefan Loseries from the Red Cross.

Fans slid down steep slopes
Markus Lamb, press spokesman for the regional police directorate, also reports a manageable number of incidents. The police did have to attend a few scuffles in pubs, but fortunately these did not result in any injuries to party guests. A Norwegian was provisionally arrested after he was too outraged by the ban imposed on him. One visitor already caused a stir on the first day of the race: He simply defecated from the stands. Other fans tried to slide down steep slopes after the race - a dangerous undertaking! Although there were a few delays on departure, this also went largely without incident.
