Suzuka 1973 Porsche RSR Race Reports
#3
QUALI was a very frustrating session for me, I couldn't get all the sectors right in any of my laps. The lap that put me in 2nd was actually the only one that was good, EXCEPT from a mistake in Spoon corner. All my other laps would had put me in the midfield probably. I had to abandon a lot of laps because I ran wide. Not happy with my driving here, but very pleased with P2.

RACE 1 I got a good start and slotted in between Ed and DJC. I made a mistake in turn 9 (this was the part of the track that ruined most of my quali laps lol), so Ed got a nice lead and instead I had DJC all over me. Made some mistakes the 2 first laps, including a gear shift fail, but slowly recovered. From here, Ed's race report pretty much sums it up. I slowly catched him and was able to get past when he made a mistake. Kept it together in the final lap to take the win.

RACE 2 Started from 2nd again and made no mistakes in the beginning, but in turn 9 I nearly lost it a few laps later. But I slowly catched Ed again to put him under pressure as much as I could. From here, my report would be identical to Ed's. I finally got a run on him when we lapped a backmarker and the remaining laps I managed to pull a little gap that I kept by not making any more mistakes!

Thanks for the good racing in these last two rounds! I wish I could race more often, I had fun. Perhaps I'll see you in some races next season too Big Grin
