SR4L F1 League Race Reports Rnd 2 Kyalami

[1959nikos]

I spent all two last weeks trying to learn Kyalami well.
I did, only big problem with this track is that off tarmack it is very slippery and sometimes just touching the white border makes the car snap so quickly its impossible to correct.

After Marcel had offered a very nice stable setup, all was going well for me prior to Sunday race, I even went under 1:20 which seemed impossible a week ago.

During practice at Race day I had a good rythm and all seemed ok.
At Quali I had gotten inside 1:19:200s and started from 9th(!!) place.

Race 1:

I started well but following closely somebody into t5, he obviously stepped on the white stuff and suddenly his car snapped and filled all the road in front of me, leaving me no place to go.
We both went out of track but people who followed started piling up on us.

I did a full lap to check if car was drivable, it wasnt, so early pitstop for me.
It was just 70sec, (I was afraid it would be double than that) and I went out, built a good rythm and due to some people getting unfortunate, I ended in 8th place and lots of point () which I terribly needed since my team boss decided to skip Kyalami and left me all alone to fight the monsters.

At the end of Race 1, I had some big lags, that hinted what might happen in Race 2.

Race 2:

The worse scennario happened.
After having a good start inside the top 10, suddenly everything froze inside the back esses.
When it came back, I was up in the air and landed in a field behind the track barriers.
I tried to find a hole to get back in the track, instead I fell into a hole that brought me back in my pit :S
Race over.

Cool attendance in Kyalami and surprising performance and cool attitude from new people here, keep on it guys, WD!!
