SR4L F1 League Race Reports Rnd 5 Essington

[Lecram]

Qualify: Very tough competition but pole nevertheless.

Race 1, I don't have much more to say than what Rikard already said in his report. Those last laps of the stints were a bit of a struggle but I lmao when I saw Rikard flying by in an attempt to overtake me last lap last corner. I braked a bit earlier and took the inside line and drove to victory. ;D

Race 2, lots of action in the opening stage. All went well, I think I was aiming for 2nd, maybe even 1st (?) until my pitstop, which cost me 5 seconds more than the one in race 1. Because of that I came back on track behind Dj, instead of in front. I was quite a bit quicker than him, he was quite defensive and it's so hard to overtake here but at one point, after the long back straight, I lured him into a little mistake. Dj went wide, onto the grass just before the tight hairpin while I tried to overtake using the normal line but he wasn't able to scrub off enough speed and hit me. We both spun, Gorka was right behind us and hit me but we got underway again, although being passed by Rikard. I had some left rear damage and was easily able to hang on to Gorka and Dj in front but unable to gain any more positions.

@Rikard, I saw your crash in the esses, amazing you din't have any damage, such a big impact :o

A great evening it was.

Cheers,

Marcel.
