SPa Race reports

[Ricknau]

In the last few races it seems Tobias, myself and Dan are fairly well matched. This held true at Spa as well. In race 1 we finished a very close 7-8-9 respectively. In race2, exiting the Lap1 La Source bumping-and-tapping, Dan edged ahead of me with Tobias just ahead of him. But the trio was broken up when Tobias got unlucky in the Eau Rouge shemozzel. So it was me chasing Dan for 8 laps, lagging about 0.5 to 1.5 seconds behind. Then at the end of lap 8 Dan missed the Bus Stop entry and cut across the grass to retake the pavement. He then drove directly through the pits in what must have been a self imposed penalty allowing me to edge ahead of him in the run to Eau Rouge. (Good sportsmanship Dan. I doubt I'd have gotten past in straight racing.) After challenging a few times on lap 9 Dan seemed to ease off a little on lap 10 allowing me to finish a very nice (for me) P7. In the end Tobias had closed the big gap he suffered at the start and probably would have made my race difficult if not for his bad luck.

I'm enjoying the racing since laying out a few seasons. Looking forward to Laguna Seca.
