Another intense race and job done. There were no mistakes other than a silly mishap with the throttle after the hairpin (getting revs up with the Escort in that part of the track is quite a challenge!). That was, however, enough for @Toni Talvitie to extend his gap over 1.5secs in the first part of the race and relax into the flow and the win (congrats again mate).
There were three clear stages in the race. The intense battles in the first part were great fun. Fighting, overtaking in the slow part of the track where the Escort shows better its guns, and being overtaken by @Mac Sheperd in the Ullman straight was a thrill. Then, after Mac's problem with the brakes at the Gendebien Bend, the second third of the race was a bit dull. A faint attempt to catch up with Toni and then settling in P2 and bracing for the battle with Mac again in the final third of the race.
That was quite a battle. I had to put everything I had to contain the faster BMW. My Escort's turbo was screaming like mad and the defensive moves plus the pressure on Mac after I was overtaken worked well. Congrats to Mac for the chase and attack.
Congrats to @Tim Muttran, @Laurent Londes and @Paul Anstey in div1. Thanks to @John vd Geest and @Caitlin Penny.
Something that hasn't been discussed as much as it was in Lausitzring is the T1 incident... I believe a very different race, with John and @Dennis Matzies fighting for the podiums on div2, would have been the case... It worked well for me though!
Enjoy!
