HodginWoods Result
I'll continue my monologue here..
Sorry for the long delay my fellow ToMer, I was busy, tired and a little bit ill those last evenings, so I only could finish the work now. Before the season, I hoped we would race on Rochernoir for this round (as it's a beautiful track) but HodginWoods by Flaming Wuzzle and his excellent hmap gave us a really interesting race. With lots of overtaking, beautiful fights and stunning finishes !
The race was dominated by the two italian legends of GR, as only alexsara79 could take two laps in the lead at Alx.it. So, with those good results Alx.it reach jo.sk on the ToM victories numbers (as announced !?! now it should be my turn.. :sweatdrop: ) and alexsara79 reach his 3rd podium in a row ! :clap: Congrats guys. Excellent performances also from akouk (4th podiums), Momo (3rd Fastest lap in a row !) and Hangman (we had a nice fight). :fight: :hshake:
With 4 differents winners on 4 races, the season is really interesting (let's hope it'll continue like that) :flip: and alexsara79 take the lead (and the pressure) of it. Now, he is close to equal the record of podium in row (4) and Momo can equal Alx.it's record of 4 FL in a season !
Race analysis
Leaders :
Alx.it : 29 laps (1-7, 9-15, 17-31)

Pit-stops strategies :
3 stops : 29 drivers

Great Achieved Strategy (GAS) awards :
Well quiet everyone who achieved his strategy as wanted but particularly those who finished with few fuel, congrats to them : Alx.it, alexsara79, Raska, Hangman, TuomoH, LongBow, haq, Gnappo, Buka, GRaucho, Mad Mack & Ms... :up:
Not Wanted Pit-stop (NWP) :
Bad luck guys : maclape, jo.sk, AleksiNir & JoBar ... Not really a NWP, but lots of time loose by Mizzamar with a terrible pit-stop and for Ivo with his fuel trouble...
The track itself was hard enough for making the differences and so, the strategy wasn't really significativ here... even if nobody really tried something different from the 3 stops strategy... The pit-stops actions were crucial as lots of drivers hitted the wall in the pit-entrance. The others key points were the two chicanes IMO.
A good point about this race is that everyone one made all the laps and as it's a quiet long track, we can easily follow the beautifuls fights we had.
So, congrats to Alx.it for his 9th victory in the ToM circus and of course to the others podiumers : alexsara79 & akouk :clap:
But the special congrats goes to LongBow, Cristiano Bohessef, Albomino & Mad Mack for their best performances so far in the league. :bg: For the first time this season, haq wasn't the best rookie. Now, the championship is still really open (even if logically alexsara79 is leading with 3 podiums on 4 races), with fights everywhere. Speaking about that, the PFcard shows well that it was an indecisiv race. You can guess the unbelievable finish (0.03s) between haq & Gnappo twice on the left. Then you have the fights between Buka & dalbom, Luketes, jo.sk & AleksiNir, Raska & Hangman, Vilkku & maclape and finally between Mizzamar & Mad Mack ! :force: Awesome, thank you gentlemen !
The position picture is taked after 2 minutes and 13 seconds. That's after 5 laps, just before JoBar made his first pit-stop. This time, no standing on the picture as we can easily see where we are and how we where at the begining of the race.
Enjoy the files (that I'm uploading right now) and don't forget to congrats our winner !
