Hmmm...

Well, I'll start with the story, 'cause it's really, really dumb. But does anyone care?

I don't think so, since the first part had good ratings and based on early rating reports this one was even more successful. And the story really doesn't matter that much, because CRAZY RACE 2 has a great cast!

Alongside several well known German supporting players the quick cameos of Werner Böhm and Daniel Küblböck (fresh from German DSCHUNGELCAMP) had me laughing on the floor. But the most evil casting coup was Dirk Bach as Egon Krenz, which is so stupid that it is brilliant.

I'm looking forward to part 3!
