The two weeks before this event i did some rubbering ??? of the track and in the mean time building me a nice set-up for the car as well.
With the Nords event still in my mind (ohw how i loved :-* it) i realised that i'm getting more and more addicted to this sport (some call it a game dunno why).
The practicing did do me end up with a pb of 1:55:6XX and all the time i focussed on Cookie who was faster all the time but a nice sparring partner next to my mentor Nikos who is also a stable factor every night. Along the way looked a lot at Marcel and DJ beating eachother up to better and better laptimes and learned a lott off that too.
Training:
I joined quite late and saw my teami struggle to get things working for him. Hector what happend ??? Did a few laps to warm up myself for the quali
Quali:
Went on the track with low fuel to set a good quali time. After a few laps i was on my pb and thought that would be the best possible to manage. In the last minutes off Q i decided to go for another spin with race fuel just to get comfortable with the extra weight and guess what.....shaved of 1 sec of my pb...... lmao. 8th start spot my best ever in simracing 8)
Race 1:
Had a great race first 3 laps or so being ahead of Mel but made a mistake wich didn't cost me a lot of time but ended up driving alone all the 17 laps. Had my pitsstop at lap 10 and only one i saw in pit was Nikos (honked at him). Ended 6st wich was a good result for me but all in all it looked a lot like a training session...good for the points though 8) (did i say points..which points
)
Race 2:
Started next to Mel and made myself up for a great battle with him. Then with startlights going green me and Mel sandwiched DJ and all hell broke loose. Normaly my fantasies about sandwiching don't have 3 cars in them :
started of second to last or so, just behind Gorka who unfortunately was a victim of the starting mayhem also. My car didn't have any damage so i tried to get some good consistent laps.
In lap 2 or was it 3 i became behind a Hedlund (Rikard as i know now) and i got past him, little detail he was limping back to the pit with damage but nevertheless i overtook a Hedlund ;D
All went well till lap 11, i had done my pitsstop (again lap 10) and was at the back of Mel in 7th place. Then T1 came and i missed my brake point completely and ended up in the barriers with my lf wheel in the meadow (mhoo).
I didn't want to limp back to the pit risking to ruin somebody else's race so i hit the f***ing esc button and watched the rest of the race from the pit.
Had again a great time though.
I'm very happy that i have purchased this sim and joined SR4L, you are all a great bunch of people.
Thanks for all the fun i had this year.
Wish you all a very nice X-mas and a great 2014 with all the luck health and love everybody needs and deserves. And of course great racing along the side
