2011/1 RD Touring Car Championship (STCC)

[Andreas Löffler]

(Btw sorry for that hard bump on the beginning of sector 3 but I didn't know that rear wheel driven cars were braking that early.)

NP Giorgios, i was also wondering about that. I think from damage i had more understeer in braking cause blocking tyres so i had to brake earlier and more to get the corner entry. Sure also not easy for you and Eric. Shame it abrupt so harsh, this i was really not expecting in that situation, like a invisible post on the street. I´m still happy with race 1 but with the result in race 2 it´s a bit useless unfortunately.

Another hard night for me done my quali and when i put the race fuel back into the car i put 40 laps instead of litres and clicked race and was on the grid with 66 litres. Ended up with a DNF in race 1 with suspension damage not repairable. Race 2 was better with 40L started 23rd and finished 12th.

Looking forward to the final round at Vitus speak 2 ya guys later

Disapointing night. An hour & half journey back from the BTCC straight in the door, pc on and 11mins left of qualifying. I used Warmup to try and get in the groove but it just wasn't coming together.

A DNF in the first race and second race drove round waving at the ground and did some weeding on the flower patch.

I was talking to Bram in a post earlier in the week about practicing being an important part of an event. I think I proved last night practice is needed even if its just to get into race mode. I was way off the pace last night on a setup that ive won a club event before quite comfortably.

Only enjoyment for me was going round the outside of Reggie in the flower patch section just after the first corrner.

Bet you weren't expecting that one Reggie lol.

 

[Eric Plimmer]

Very tough event.

Thought my Quali time of a 28.1 (PB) should get me a top 20 grid position - Wrong! So 25th it was. Sorry to Andreas if I confused you a bit near the end of quali... I was really struggling and not sure how to get out of your way

Race 1, starting near the back, I decided to just take it easy and try to finish with no major incidents. This strategy paid off cos I had a pretty quiet race and just inherited a very welcome 13th place finish. Very, very happy with that.

Race 2 I had to up my pace a bit to keep up with the others - again tried to stay out of trouble and only drive as fast as I needed to maintain my position. Again, this paid off, with others going out and by "robbing" Georgios of 10th near the end. I got my first League top 10 position... So very happy again with that.

Considering my relatively poor pace at this track, I guess I was rather lucky to get such good positions. I obviously gained from the misfortune of other, much faster guys... but I guess that's all part of racing...

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

nice one Eric, that was supposed to be my strategy as well, it just didn't work out

 

[Diogo Lopes]

ivo excuse the little touch, I made a mistake under braking, fortunately was not hard, lol .....

I'm waiting to see video of the race two, great race ....
