Quick race report,
Qualifying, I managed a pb. I was a little nervous I thought I had cut T2 but a quick view of the replay showed a legal lap and a 1:21.121
Great Sportsmanship shown by Niko who let me know at the end of the Qualifying session he cut his fastest lap and after a quick review he lost one position on the grid.
If you do think you have cut in Qualifying this is a great example of what to do, Well done Niko
*Just to let everyone know again races are not restarted, it's terrible luck when something goes wrong but the show must go on. Unless of course we have a catastrophic failure. Sorry to DJC race 1
Please as SR4L members don't vote for restarts on race day's League or Fun Event, let admin deal with it.
Race 1,
Starting 4th on the grid I thought it would be hard to hold DC off in to turn one as he jumped me all week in practice with his flying starts. As luck has it I held position in to T1. DC chased me pretty hard for 5 or 6 laps before something happened to him easing the pressure some what. I did my best to keep up with Gorka and Marcel and they were with reach a the first pit stop but after that the flew off in what turned out to be a classic battle, well done Came home in third pretty happy.
Race 2,
I had a great battle with Jason, chasing him for 7 laps before pitting with Gorka hot on my heels. Unfortunately Jason ran out of fuel so the battle did get to continue. DC who had started from 14th was now hot on my tail and the fight for 2nd was on with Gorka pushing him. I managed to hold position to the end as too DC holding off Gorka. Well done Finished 2nd with a little luck on my side again.
Race 3,
Started badly from the back of the grid when on T4 Marcel and I locked wheels and spun, Sorry Marcel. It was a lot of fun trying to work my way up the field, Everon keeping me at bay for a few laps before I decided to pit early and hopefully jump him with a good out lap which worked. Tried in vain to keep up with Marcel but to no avail and finished 5th.
All in all a fun nights racing and another great turn out given it was the Easter weekend, even Jesus found time to join us so we were truly blessed
With the Nordscleife Challenge coming up next round and some specific rule changes for this race only (tba) it could be the make or break of your season, looking forward to it.
