The verdict
Honours end even at 3–3, which is the awkward kind of matchup: whoever calls the stat decides the round.
Kärnan is a steel Infinity Coaster coaster at Hansa Park, DE, built by Gerstlauer. Toutatis is a steel LSM Multi-Launch Coaster coaster at Parc Astérix, FR, built by Intamin.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
