SR4L F1 League Race Reports Rnd 8 Snetterton

[troffeo]

Hi all,

Snetterton maybe is my worst race until today.....
First of all my apologies for the incident in 2nd lap of the 1st race, especially to Marcel about another bad time at the very last lap, again in the 1st race.

Guys I am very very sorry about that!!!!

Oualy
------------
I am on track only few minutes before the end of practice, so I can't have the max of knowlege (about new rig, track, setup etc.).
I manage to have a time near to my PB 1.57.xx and the 15th position on grid.

Race 1
-----------

I had a marvelous start and I was very lucky that I avoid a huge conflict in front of me at T1.
The end of 1st lap I was in 8th position with great confidence....but somewhere in 2nd lap (at T5 if I remember well), starts my personal disaster.

My car spin around from right to left unfortunately at the apex and the inside of racing line of that turn.
The result was to hit on me several cars consistently severe damages in my car. One more time SORRY guys, but everything happens very fast and I can't press the f.... esc button before the disaster.
I managed to get to the pits and wait for 313sec for my car to be repaired.

My effort for something good had just finished and if this does not happen with Marcel in the last round I would be happy with my 12th place.
(Very sorry again Marcel but I don't had any space and clear mind to avoid all this. I hope not to deprive you of a better place or even winning the race).

Race 2
-----------

I was bad mood, and even thought not to participate in race 2, so asked Marcel to put me in the last position on grid.
The race starts again well for me, but a few cars in front of me was again incident.
I was hit from tires, suspension and everything else was flying in the air, so my car spin at the left side hitting the Cosimo's car.
Sorry Cosimo but I can't do anything else.
Again in pits to repair my damages for 88sec.

In the middle of the race for a couple laps I was driving behind Nikos who had already passed me, but at the end of straight Nikos has brake earlier than the brake point so I decided not to hit him from behind and go straight to the barriers...

I managed to get again to the pits and wait for 190sec for my car to be repaired.
Finally happy with the 12th position again.

My Best Wishes to all of you for Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

George
