Nordschleife Race Reports

[Lecram]

Just saw the replay of what happened to DjC, really tough luck mate, you could have made it so hard for me tonight

Qualify went great, all I did different from the days before was 1 notch lower front ARB and disabling my Motec-plugin... All week my best was at about 8:17 and I could barely hold on to DjC in those practice sessions. Dunno if the changes did it but the pole lap tonight was a massive pb but didn't feel that quick plus I had scraped the wall in my first flying lap so there was a little damage though hardly noticeable.
Never thought of getting pole with DjC in the room... Gorka proved to be speedy as well ;D

I got away good, both Gorka and DjC right behind me at T1 but I could pull a little gap thru the following corners. I kept a second gap with DjC till the last part of that lap where DjC started to close in. Unfortunately Gorka crashed into him after the looong backstraight and suddenly the gap was 8 secs. Then DjC and Gorka crashed again at the end of lap 2 and I saw David Coyne had passed them. Guess I was the luckiest man on earth at that moment.
I managed to keep a steady pace for the rest of the race, lapping a bit faster than my direct opponents but still without too many risks.
Lappers did a great job of letting me thru and so I won the race, something I had never expected and many others with me I think :-X : ;D

Thanks and till next race
