What a race! I have to learn it during practice, I was able to make just a couple of laps before, and its very tricky and requires time to learn its secrets so I can't match the times you guys are doing, but nevertheless I manage a decent qualy time . After almost miss the start, I was putting my phones when I saw all red lights on and just have time to grab the wheel and step on the gas, I lost one place that I recover after a few corners when he lost his rear and spin. I was able to follow the leaders for 4 laps but I was pushing and sliding too much shredding my tires and I decided to slow a little bit and find my own pace, so it was P4 to the finish line balancing my pace between tire wear and keep the gap to Rob that was under 3 seconds all the race. That was intense he didn't give me a break all 45 minutes , always on my mirrors and any time I relax a little bit there was him on my back and make me to push a bit more to keep it there . See you guys on Spa.
Thank you guy´s great race yesterday. Congrats to Kens win again Had a awesome battle with Brian again Practise: Was very good for me. I could do some fast laps doing PB all the time Had one issue with Brian coming off the long right hander before start/finish line wasn´t sure if you left space or you just had a slide with you´r car. Had a great lap going so I didn´t left off throttle, sorry for that Brian. I got a DQ so I had to go out and restart all over. Qual was the same did a new PB only to be beaten by Ken "the quick guy" Race 2nd on grid didn´t do a good start so Brian was quick to take my place, follow him for so many laps try to get a good overtake, but I guess I was abit scared off the practise insident so I really coldn´t get it. Also didn´t wanted to ruin my or his race by a stupid maneuver, speaking off that when I did pass him and had a lap or two try to chase down Ken, I had some very bad laps over shooting most of the track , so Brian was side by side with me again ( when I got the most briiliant idea to use one off my maped button to look right try too see where he was, ending up with, that I lost my vision up front and went out to the grass ,just missed some fence) Just pure Luck I didn´t took Brian with me, the car was good so it was another chase after Brian and after a long time also Ken. See you at old SPA
It seems like I can't go wrong with this series, after such a strong run of great results. If I could work out why it is, I would bottle and sell it! At each race so far seeing the pace that guys like Brian & Bjorn have been running, I've been expecting them to overhaul me anytime. In practice I thought this moment had arrived when I was not as strong as in previous practice sessions. The car felt good, it was just that the times I was getting were a bit off the pace of those two guys. Somehow I managed to pull a PB out of the bag in Qualifying (maybe the lighter fuel load?) and got the pole. I remember Brian getting some rocket starts, so I need to nail it at the green flag, so that I could then manage the race pace and look after the front tyres. I saw Brian in the rear-view mirror do the job and close in on me, but not enough to challenge into T1. Once the tyre temps settled in after 2-3 laps, I monitored the time back to Brian/Bjorn and drove only hard enough to keep a gap where a draft wouldn't allow a challenge. A few minor errors from me didn't upset that equilibrium much and I was able to keep it steady to the chequered flag, with a fast closing Bjorn catching up, but I didn't want to tempt fate by pushing any harder than necessary. Unfortunately I won't be running in the final race, so that will leave the door open for Bjorn to snatch the Drivers Championship, unless something unexpectedly untoward should happen. With the series over for me, I will upload my setup from this race to the SRO Library. It's pretty much what I've used for the last 3 races, other than an odd change here and there.
We don't normally change race dates once they have been setup, unless we have major problems/server issues. I personally wouldn't schedule series dates to suit my own personal timetable, but if the majority of the guys running this series want to put this back a week, we could run it on either Tuesday/Wednesday 29th/30th Sept.
If those of you running in this series want to reschedule the final round as I offered, then I need you to say so here, otherwise the race will go ahead on the original planned date.
