WTF? Apex started the race on Goodyears, and pitted onto Firestones???

actually, noticed the same thing
btw, the moment after we were on Dunlops aswell

(but I don't remember seeing them on Pirellis, the ones we should be using )

result wise,

That is good, and at the same time not so good. Joel's strategy was screwed in the last stint, just like S2 Monza, but this time we had the pace to cover.
It was a really big shame that Ben spun (and later retired), especially looking at how well he was holding off everyone, including Mishra, Cornes.. even Joel at one point in that race! keeping them two, especially Mishra and Joel behind is not something I expected. Could've perhaps been a 1-2 finish otherwise, but we have to wait a while longer for that it seems.
We are happy for Joel's win of course, having started from 15th, and further closing up on Cornes.

We need some bad luck for Cornes in the next race if we want Joel to take the fight in the season finale, we are doing the best we can but if it stays like this we won' t do anything.. Constructors' wise, closed the gap to Razor nicely now, and it seems like we have the upper hand here. Let's keep it that way.

JOEL KEEPS MOMENTUM

The two titles continue to get closer and closer after a rainy Suzuka saw a legendary win from Rautavaara. Starting 15th, the Finn quickly scythed through the field, and once his teammate was out of the way, promptly began to dominate the field. Nathan Cornes' day was looking good, but a spin off at Spoon midway through meant he fell behind his championship rival, and set upon a long day trying to catch up.
In between the two competitors, Oorjit Mishra showed some class, but ultimately fell well short of a race winning effort as he took second place. He overtook a sneaky Daniel Harvey, the Brit changing to full wet tyres a bit earlier than most, and nearly got to the front as a result. Stephan Bohner took 4th, just holding off a fast charging Cornes at the end.
Aaron Reed made a late pass on Rui Martins to secure 6th, with Yamaguchi taking 8th at home ending a strong day for JHR again. Takuma Ishikawa also returned to the points, with the local crowd leaving their largest cheers of the day for the two drivers as they crossed the line. Andy Graham was the final point scored in 10th.
Behind, Manolis Sigoulakis had a late problem that robbed him of points in 11th, Sharp was 12th with Diehl, Laskey, Rinneaho and Ana completing the classified runners. McNamara, Utzer, Cocks, Noack, Brugman and Costello all found early ends to their days.
Current standings see Cornes lead Rautavaara by 36 points with 50 up for offer. Razor also lead Apex, but only by a mere 9 points with 86 points to go.
Next round is from Phillip Island for the Pacific Grand Prix. As ever, Marketplace closes 10am Thursday AEDT.

RDFIA Press Conference
@Joel A hell of a drive, did it ever go that well for you in your imagination?
@oorjit07 A maiden podium for you today, did you feel you could have done better versus Rautavaara though?
@Millsy24 A cunning strategy from the pit wall secured a very strong 3rd again. Two races to go, can you grab the magical S3 win for DTK?

Press Paddock
@T.Yamaguchi @Takuma Ishikawa Talk us through scoring points at your home GP?
@Milos One car good, one didn't make it. But only 9 points down now. Thoughts?
@Smartbean 4th for you, looking to next year and maybe something better, definitely something new in regards to a teammate?

@Milos One car good, one didn't make it. But only 9 points down now. Thoughts?

to have both cars make it is a must if we want to challenge for the championships. And we want to. It is the primary goal to take both titles with the momentum we have.

All on CoF reduction

the strategy was so cunning that you could have put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
i hope we can however I fear that perhaps that relies on other peoples reliability and yet more cunning strategies. Its a shame these strategies couldn't be made earlier in the season
