rFactor 2 Round 4 Dijon Prenois - Sun Aug 24, 2025

Fortunate to be on the right side of the grid, which was the right side to avoid the start crash. Really unlucky for others, and yeah, nothing more to add to that what was said after Kylami. Lets hope for less trouble for the last two rounds.

To my race, I found my self in third after turn one and after a few laps I was suddenly second. Kostas was way too fast for me (congrats btw) and did not even try to increase the risk. The car/track combo was tough, in certain areas there was no margin for errors and I also had to look after my tyres. I knew that a two stop could be fast too, but I found that pacing yourself was the safest option. What I did not consider was @Lorenzo Bettini , who had really good pace and kept me busy. I was less agressive in the middle sector (risk and tyre management) but as long as my exit out of the last turn was good ... When it was not, well - he came very close to overtake me twice. The other component was the strategy, I tried a one stop on medium and because of that, I did not pit earlier than half of the race. Björn, who caught up again, tried the undercut and impressively made the one stop work with 50 laps one soft (congrats too). Lorenzo extended his stint and I guess, he had an issue in the pits. Without that, it would have been an interesting finish for P3.

But regardless which position at the finish, I am happy to made it there. Kudos to all finishers, who survived.

 

Good race guys, Grats to winner and podium. Just happy to see the finish line.
