    What a tough track! It's hard enough to race the track here let alone race each other! lol

    Grats to the top 3 & all who finished! & sory to Toni having break drag again :confused:..
    What a race! Had a last min set sent to me by FKR teammate JG;) & instantly gained 1.5 sec's! (Thx Johnny:D)
    Had some really good battles while trying to stay in the top 10 for points! :eek: lol (I Q'd 9th so was hoping to get at least 1 point this round:D..)
    found myself in 8th after a few laps after seeing Barrett have an off letting a few of us by & battled to defend until the pit stops, With Paul,Barrett & Edward behind me with better pace I decided to go with an early pit stop & hope for the undercut to possibly give me a gap I could defend for more that 30 min :rolleyes: Wishful thinking lol ...When i came out I pushed like a mad man to try & get around as quick as possible & it seemed to work as I came around seeing the 6th 7th & 8th in the pits! This put me nicely up in 6th with a slight gap & then IDK what happened but next thing I knew I was in 5th! Then i saw it was JVDG who was originally in 5th making his way back through the field and soon he was on my ass lol.. I knew he had more pace than me :rolleyes: we were racing for position after all so I tried to make my car as wide as possible down the strait and take away the inside & make him earn it around the outside ! lol to my surprise he stayed inside and obviously thought he had cleared me as he started to make his way back to the outside for the T1 apex & that's where it all went to hell in a hand bag lol rFactor 2(rFactor2.exe) Screenshot 2022.08.07 - 15.02.58.80.jpg We made contact and did some synchronized drifting ....:rolleyes:

Sadly Coleo was not so lucky & had nowhere to go but right into JVDG :( rFactor 2(rFactor2.exe) Screenshot 2022.08.07 - 15.00.50.73.jpg After this it was hold on time for me as I now had to fight the car and the track o_O:rolleyes::p I was still in 6th but knew it was only a matter of time lol before Barrett & Ed would catch up to me .. Still managed 8th so very happy to finally get a point or 2 in the series!

    Grats to FKR teammate Johnny for going from last to 2nd!! what a run ! rFactor 2(rFactor2.exe) Screenshot 2022.08.07 - 14.47.24.42.jpg

    I practiced a few hours before the race, a few things seemed weird to me with the car but hey, and when I watched the replay, I saw that I hadn't chosen the Ford...
    but the Aston! :cool:
    as I felt good, I decided to run with it, and maybe the next one too.

    I watched the race live until the end, it had many great battles, a stunning comeback from Johnny indeed and some bad luck moments as the incident with John and Rob..
    When i saw it i was about "Ohhh dear God what happened?? :O"
    Very very entertainment race with lots of overtakes and great commentary from the guys (sorry i don know their names :( )
    Bad luck for Toni either with his brake issues, i watching that suddenly he was loosing pace and i was thinking "Oh the guy is having a problem for sure.."
    I thought was a tire issue but later he wrote us at chat that he was having real brake issues.. Too bad i believe that he could win the race despite the fact
    that Miguel was superfast too..
    Anyways even if i couldnt join the race, it was a great pleasure to watch it live.
    Well done to all guys :)
