SR4L F1 League Race Reports Rnd 9 Croft

[troffeo]

Hi all,

Unfortunately in that period I don't have time to practice, but I was lucky because I remember well the Croft track since a fun race with the Clio's
Totally I had practice for more or less 50 laps, so I thought to use my Essington setup with some minor changes.

Here is my report:

Quali
---------
I did few laps arround to 1:25:xx but in the last one have my PB 1:24:788 brought me a 11th place on the grid

Race 1
----------
Start went very well and I managed to stay out of many troubles all the way in lap 1.
In the lap 6 or 7 and for a couple laps, I had a very nice with Jesus and Giorgio in which winner was Jesus (well done Jesus!!!).
I manage to had my pit stop at lap 9 and after 48 sec. regained the race.
From that point the only thing who have in my mind it was just bring the car home.
Happy to finish 9th at the end, and very happy with my pace

Race 2
----------
Reverse grid, so I started from the 8th position but unlike the race 1 was disastrous, since someone had contacted in the back of my car at the entrance of the second chicane, so my car spun off track into the grass. My car was turned 180° and I could not re-join track in a safe way, so I had to remain further into the grass until pass me all other drivers. I was already 18th.....

In this moment I want to say again my opinion. I think in real races all drivers first of all want the win, but safety is first.
For me is not allowed to drive back in the track with unsafe way for the other drivers.
Everyone must have respect for all others...

Until lap 6 I manage to pass many drivers so in that lap I was in 8th position.
I planned to had my pitstop in lap 10 and after 48 sec. regained the race.
For the remaining 11 laps I managed to get until the 6th position, without problems, so I am very glad to finished and the second race at Croft

Thanks all,
Thanks again SR4L for that great moments!!!!
