not a big sign up for this round, in fact its the smallest one :disapointed:

Shocked at this, it`s the best track of the championship. Though it is the time of Spring holidays here, just glad it`s not next week as I would be missing it.

I am currently running low 1:44's in TA with the default setup, because I have no idea what to change to the setup.

doing around the same here, my best has been a 1:44.060 with 40L of fuel but it is one tricky track and i fully expect to crash and burn somewhere along the way :skywalker:

 

[Christopher Aponte]

not fast enough yet....1:43.5x constant though....but no chance for 1`:42

 

[Neil Gault]

This race was the most awesome race I ever had!!!

Quali: 8th
Race: Started behind Patrick, didn't start extremely good but this time at least I wasn't too slow In the first few laps, I tried to pass Patrick but we both went off-line, and Paulo overtook us both. Not much after I spun before the last corner But then I started to close up on Neil T., we had a little battle, but then he braked in front of me and I passed him. I was following Bob until my pit-stop. Got the entry very fast, changed front tires only, and came out behind Patrick!! I'm always amazed how much I'm winning with pit-stops, maybe because I change only 2 tires (?).
After that I had a huge battle with Patrick, tried to overtake him in many corners without success, but then in the last lap, at the last 2 corners (!!!) I managed it, and finished 6th!

Despite the horrible FPS I had, this was the best race ever for me! I hope for battles like this in the future

Thank you guys all! See you on the next race!

 

[Neil Tennant]

I sort of went round the track.......slower than everyone else,

 

[John Bergqvist]

finished an RD event for the first time ever!!!!!!! wooooo!!

Man I am so disappointed after this race. For the last 2 weeks I have been pounding this track with fast times and error free driving, but tonight I think my bottle went or something, pressure of rdtv maybe I just don`t know.

Practice

Went well in the top 5 not far off the top with a full tank.

Qualifying

Ended 5th and was made up as I made some bas mistakes in first sector.

Race

I forgot how to drive during warm up!!!! From the very start lost my line, brake points and almost the will to live. Dropped to 6th then got a present when Neil G and Andreas came together putting me into 4th and I thought "now come on just drive". I did for about another lap then spun at the top of the hill dropping me to 9th.
Started the fight back and caught back upto Paulo then coming to the hairpin broke early enough on the inside but car moved left, tyres touched grass and spun me into the back of Paulo, REALLY SORRY Paulo. Let Paulo pull away and was just going to cruise round in 9th, then Paulo lost it off the last turn so I went through and eventually started putting some lap times in to finish a very sad 8th.

Writing this it came to me that Paulo may have lost control due to damage caused by our coming together, if so then I would like Paulo to get my points.

Overall, I love this track, i may have said already and these cars but tonight was a bad night for me. Roll on the next round.
