2011 Junior Touring Car Championship

[Andreas Hultgren]

I was actually eating lunch between turn 2 and 3 when you spun so didn't have my camera up, my usual luck when things like that happens Same thing with Sebastian crash - was eating. Though I did get some aftermath shots from it but there were dust everywhere so can't see much on them.

I was actually by your tent twice. Once early on and another time before the second Camaro race. But you wern't there. Though I might have actaully walked right passed you and a couple of mates of yours on my way to the other side of the track. But wasn't sure it was you and didn't want to make a fool out of my self, lol I'll try to catch in Guthenburg but might be hard as I doubt there will be any access to the paddock. Otherwise I will try Falkenberg

PS: Feel free to use the pic on the RD front page report if you like.

Well done Linus:good:.

Sounds like you're making good progress.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

sniffing at the points, keep going. I am really amazed that you have managed to finish all four races so far, your car must be very well prepared, kudos to the pit-crew!

 

[Brian Clancy]

Great read! Good luck at Falkenberg :wink:

 

[Linus Broström]

JTCC Kinnekulle On-Board Video!!!

Scored my first 5 points after finishing 10th and 8th. Got passed during yellow flags in race 2 and then had a crash that coud have killed a few people right infront of my on the last lap under dubble yellow flags. Races will be posted later...

 

[Chris Butcher]

What on earth were those two doing?

 

[Linus Broström]

almost killing the marshalls working under dubble yellow flags i guess??

btw, sound is fixed in race 2 video now

 

[William Levesque]

Looks great ! Very strange Race 2 ending !

But you're not heel and toeing on downshifts ? Not very bad on this track but on others it doesn't slow you down on entry ?

 

[Linus Broström]

well im still new to this kind of driving so i just stay with what i feel the most comfortable doing

 

[Mike Sterckx]

What happened in the first vid at 6.30? Did something break?

 

[William Levesque]

Ah ok

You should learn as fast as possible though

gearbox broke...

 

[Thomas Dougherty]

wahhh i envy you so much i'd kill to just have 1 shot at racing whether it be karting or some NASA/SCCA events, but my parents would much rather have me focus on school right now :/ if i start making money i'll probably turn racing into a big hobby of mine.

you're living my dream! godspeed to everything you're after, kick some ass out there.

 

[William Levesque]

Well, you could do like me and planning on doing Honda Senior Karting

Not so expensive while being a hell of a lot fun !

I had the same problem with parents when I was younger and was doing karting.

Linus, can we expect from you something spectaculer on your home track? (your first victory maybe)

 

[Ivo Simons]

race 2 i started 10th after putting down a 1:20.807 in race 1. finished 10th but ended up 8th after 2 DQ's post race

 

[William Levesque]

Good

But mate, you really got to learn that heel and toe thing, it's REALLY hurting you on braking... You could win at least a second each lap...

 

[Emil Sällberg]

Well done Linus! Keep it up and keep on learning!

Good

Not saying that heel and toe isn't a good technique to be able to use, but when you're not that experienced racing, it's not what you need to focus on. It might be quicker on the one lap, but if you're not sure about heel-and-toeing you can easily loose time on it during the course of a race. Not to mention the fact that it is easy to be focusing a bit too much on the heel-and-toeing and not the placement of the car and other more important things. I'm no racing star, but that is at least how it is for me when racing or driving at track days.
