Flat 6 League - Round 2 - Kyalami - Reports
#1
I'll start.

Qualy
-------
Hard to improve my laptimes with race fuel from practice.I could only be 1 tenth faster than my practice time. Anyway it was good enough for 4th place.

Race 1
---------
For some reason Christopher, who had the pole position, wasn't on the race, so I found myself on third place.
We started the formation lap without trouble and the race went on. I was a bit too cautious with the tires at the start. That caused me to be overtaken by 2 or three cars.
We raced in a bit of a close pack all race and finally made back some places.
Some of the drivers had freezes, me included. One caused David Hart when being ahead of me to go wide in the final corner, that helped me to overtake him and cross the finish line in second place.

Race 2
--------
Crazy grid. It was as if 6 or 7 drivers where set in the first positions and the rest of the pack where moved back those places.
That caused me a lot of trouble. After a very slow start as some cars didn't move for a few seconds after very quick green light, losing some more places I got sandwiched between two cars after turn 2. I was just a passenger in there ending against the wall and getting damage on the left side of the bodywork and both left suspensions.
One or two more laps later at the exit of quick turn 5 suddenly some cars had spun in the middle of the track and a big pile started to make. I was able not to hit the cars but lost the rear and couldn't avoid the wall in the move, causing the car to stall and get extra damage in all 4 suspensions and losing the front spoiler.
From those moments the race wasn't fun at all as the car was very understeery and hard to handle. The only advantage was that it was faster at the straight (less drag after missing spoiler) and that helped me gain a few places.
Finally ended up 7th.

Really not much to say I could not believe how fast everyone was and I was not able to match them at all Qual next to last.
Race one had some fun with Dan M but toward end Had a freeze but I guess he had one too so I ended up 13 not bad from where I started.
Race two I found myself 3rd on grid for some reason so at start I tried to let everyone go by me so they could race but I may have hurt some sorry if I did I just wanted to be out of the way. Raced with Cookie awhile and ended 11th.

It was good fun last night, had some good dices with Cookie and Dan , close , intense , but clean , great racing guys .
2nd race start put me at the back of the grid , but i managed to fight my way up to 6th so was pleased with that .

I noticed people complaining about freezing , myself i had a couple of tiny ones that didnt really affect me , but , i did notice before the race that a number of people appeared to leave and rejoin some more than once , i myself got kicked and i wondered if that is what happened to them , if so it looks like a problem we had a while back is rearing its head again .
Understeer - is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer - is when you hit the wall with the back of the car
Horsepower - is how fast you hit the wall
Torque - is how far you move the wall when you hit it

Same thing happened between Tim and I during the first race as mentioned above. First he froze then I froze soon thereafter. Did not affect the results.

I had no problems at all (other than that caused by my driving) but I did see a couple of cars disappear then reappear.

That was a really fun battle, until that glitch rudely spoiled things.
