what a event
thank you Yves for setting it up
i came on the server like a zombi totaly brain death at 3:40 am was not much expecting
so i did a half assed qualy lap at least it was feeling half assed
as i was watching timings i saw its enough for place 3 on the grid what was realy suprising
but least not long then Yves pushed me to place 4, so i got back on track still feeling like a zombi i got my 3rd place back but i was knowing there is a low 2.39 or even a 2.38 in me so i tryed again but borked up last sector with -1.135 sec of my time
while i was trying to get a better time William pushed his honda up to place 3 on grid and left me with a 4th place
race1*
got a not that good start but the beemer behind me seams to had one cuz i got a friendly tab from Yves in his Fosters BMW no damage taken and i could go on
from then it was one of the verry best races i had at RD
i was chasing William for 3rd after a few lap i was right into his exhaust and set a move on the long start finish line braking on the fightline at verry latest point
but William was trying to defend with even later braking
now i was already way to far to back up so i was trying to hold my line and let him much room as possible
knowing he will have a realy hard time to get the honda around turne 1 on the outside line
and if i saw right he lost his rear ( sorry William to let you die on the outside
i should have forseen that you dont give up spot 3 without fighting)
now having Ryan in front of me and a verry hot Dallas behind me i put the head down
to get Ryan constantly checking my mirror what Dallas is doing comming up to turne 4
Dallas was trying to set a move on me i braked as late as i could to still get the corner
knowing Dallas will set the move on me anyways
and as i expected he tryed to out brake me, with that move he basicly out braked him self now i had a comfortable gab to Marcel and Ryan still in view
i pushed all out of my death brain and was chasing Ryan down with a cuple of qualy laps
as i closed the gab to under 1.5 secs ryan made a capital error misbraking turne one
and of he was into the kitty litter now on place 2 6 secs behind Keith and 4 secs infront of Marcel
it takes me not long to understand that there is noway to close the gab to Keith he was driving like someone from outerspace
but i was still pushing to rise the gab to Marcel what worked quite well at one point i was 8 secs in front of him but from lap 6 my tyers startet to get down and i lost a big % of my grip so i had to slow down
but cuz of the change in my rythem i hit the kitty litter in that fast dubble left hander at last sector
came out with only 3 secs gab left to Marcel who was now pushing, i managed even my tyers where shot to raise the gab again up to 4 secs befor i made in the last lap the same error at the same turne again
now i came out of the gravel with only 1.xxx secs but could finaly save 2nd over the line even it was close
Great race guys it was worth it to stay up the whole night
race2*
got a good start and sloted in behind Marcel he lead me pretty well throug the field
Warren realy early on the brakes got past left and right by us Marcel was going for the outside of turne one while i stayed close to the curb, and then the carnage begun
Yves in his Beemer spun it and i just panik breaked to avoid him but noway to not hit him i was just to fast and to close, my panik breaking probaly gave all behind me a weeeee moment ( i am realy sorry guys but i had to break like that or i would have T-Boned Yves near flat out) then i got a verry bad hit in my back, what pushed me throug Yves, and Dallas passed me outside.
i was trying near everything to get past Dallas and i was more then 1 time so close to him that you would't be able to stick a stamp betwine us
after a few laps trying hard to get past Dallas, Keith closed up on us and i was knowing now i have to get past Dallas or Keith will just eat me for breakfast
coming down to turne 1 Dallas was sliding the seat around the corner as i was doing with the honda must be funy to see for Keith
i got that drift way better handelt that gave me the change to go past Dallas at turne 2 from then i could watch Dallas and Keith fighting it out but then i did a mistake
i saw Keith set a move on Dallas i changed line to infront of Dallas cuz i was thinking i could easy hold him but would get probs to hold Keith knowing his speed from race one
oh well that was a big big mistake coming down to that fast 5th gear zigzag i got a light tab wich send me strait into the tyerwall Dallas slowed down to wait but my car
was totaly wrecked the weel was more as 45° of center so i decided to pop out and watch the race, was verry funy to watch William who was flying with the honda
Great race all
and sorry again to all who i have distracted with my panik braking i realy feel like i was the main factor who coused the trubble in race 2 turne 1
