Sim Racers 4 Life - T290 Season - Round 3 - Zandvoort - Reports
#6
Another enjoyable race weekend Smile Thank you guys for clean racing, specially in race 2.. no easy passing lol Big Grin

Managed to get down to 1:41.3 in the practice session with only a couple of minutes left before qualifying. In quali I struggled but eventually did a 41.5 which I later managed to improve by 2-3 tenths. Just like last time, I was about 2 tenths faster than Robert and took pole position again.

RACE 1
Robert and Gorka could quite easily follow me, and at the same time I felt totally relaxed because no serious overtaking attempts were made. I noticed Robert pushed a little harder towards the end of the first stint, so I had to respond and a small gap opened up down to Gorka. Rob and I pitted same lap, but he lost a lot of time in the pits. So when I exited pits I saw Gorka quite far behind me on the main straight, but still he was able to squeeze in between us to take 2nd place. My second stint was lonely. I saw Robert was able to take back second spot but later found out that it was because of a incident when they lapped someone. Really fast but unlucky Gorka, better luck next time!

RACE 2
Took it easy in T1 and stayed behind Robert. Some guys crashed in the "chicane" leading to T2 and I think I saw Gorka there because never saw him again this race.. So I was in 9th and following Robert who was trying to find a way past my team mate. When Rob tried too hard, I could overtake him instead but there was no way past Ed. After all I was quite comfy back there but eventually he let me past (thanks teamy Wink) Next up was once again the both Run Lola Run-drivers who always seem very consistent. They both raced hard but fair and was quite tricky to overtake! Eventually I managed to overtake them tho, and instantly opened up a gap. At last, I had only Coyne and DJ in front of me, and Rob still hanging on right behind me. Coyne pitted really early. DJ too. I stayed on track until end of lap 11 iirc, and when I came out from the pits DJ still had a big gap, and Rob was right behind me. After a few laps I made a little mistake in T1 and he could overtake me. I followed him as he gave it all to try to catch DJ. With only a few laps left I thought the gap was too big, but we came closer and closer. With two laps to go I thought that it might be possible and with a very late braking in T1 for the very last lap Robert was already up in the gearbox on DJ. I watched them fight until Robert somehow managed to squeeze past. DJ's front tires were obviously cooked and gone long ago but he was able to drive good lines the final corners so I never really had the chance to attack him. Congrats to my brother.. his first win this season. Next time David Wink
