Mills Challenge

From leading the series to saying bye bye to it. Thanks.

Congrats to winners of both classes.

Sorry to Dennis cummings for the punt in lap 5. Also, sorry to the guys involved in my incident in lap 1. I was sneaking between the ZRs quite well until I understeered in turn 3, banged doors with a mate -not punt- who did not go offtrack nor spun, but the rebound made me slip to the right and the guy behind me hit me. When I watched the replay I realised that, as a result, three other cars were affected.

I thought it wasn't a drive thru but I was assigned one at the end of lap 3, so I served it in lap 4. Then I had the incident with Dennis in a late brake. I waited for him to rejoin track in front of me and served my D/T.

My last pitstop was to repair a lost rear wing, so I had to let all the grid go by and went back to track in P18. I was following Pablo for quite a while trying to unlap, but at the end of the backstraight I had to brake late and always went a bit wide and he recoverd position. It took me several laps to pass him.

Near the end I managed to getr P17 but, suddenly, my engine stopped in the backstraight and took a few seconds to come back to life, loosing my position and back to P18.

See you again next time.

Pretty stressful race today! Didn't have time to practice at all, plus i never drove the ZR before. Had about 15 min of practice, so no long stints to see how the tires hold up. Thank God i knew the track layout, but the car was just too nervous so only managed 7th in quali. The race was pretty silly too, the first lap mixup with all the accidents got me from 15th to about 10th, but it didn't last long as all the faster cars were catching up fast, tried not to give anyone a hard time since i knew they were faster. The tires degraded pretty fast too, maybe around halfway, but i didn't pit, looking back now i realize I should, wouldn't make any difference really, i was still slow and the car was still twitchy even with good tires. Hopefully i'll be able to race in this series again, but this time i will practice a bit more :)

Congrats to the podium finishers and everybody else for a good race!!!

Not the best race for me. Managed some good 1.23's in practice and qualifying then the race went rather wrong. Got spun in the first corner melee and lucky not to lose my rear wing. Managed to fight back through a little but setup decided it wasnt playing today. Got alot of understeer to oversteer in pretty much every corner so tyres wore quite a bit. Tried to hold off Chris towards end but he got past and I could only stay with him at the end.

This to be honest was my best race.

I got a great start, took 3 places and ran in 5th for a lap until I had a tap with someone, and had to pit for slight damage that had a large effect.

I came back out one place from the back and began my fightback to a top 10 finish.

Caught up to god knows how many cars, and ended up making a pretty good maneuver on Marcel Grevelt, going side by side all the way down the back straight. I was also a little part of that contact in Francisco's screenshot. I couldn't see a thing because of that huge lock-up, and came really close to hitting him! Unfortunate for you Franc :)

Then, I went into crazy mode and made a stupidly mad pass into turn one, after going three wide on the pit straight and throwing it into the corner. In the process I lost my rear wing because I cut up a ZR driver. Sorry about that!
That made my race a lot harder, and spent a lot of time behind Dan Bailey. Understeer in the corners, and then loads of speed in the straight made for a difficult race.

Technically, I passed 17 cars. I think.

Congratulations to Silvino.

MANY congratulations to Conor, a truly dominating victory in the generally slower car. I don't even know how that's possible. Great race guys.

Had a good finish with Dennis again, i was a little quicker because i went in around lap 12 for tires and more fuel so i had the better grip out of turns.

As for the race itself i was trying to keep out of the way of those GP1 cars, dam they were fast. Had good battles with Chris as we were fighting for position for a good 4-5 laps. Congrats to the podium and to Conor for the win in my class.

Talk about a chaoitic start. Got a decent jump off the grid and had a couple of tenths on the ZR field. Heading down into T2, I saw a red Howston pop up out of the pack of ZRs but took my eye off of it as I proceeded to negotiate the corner. All of a sudden, the red Howston comes careening down my right side and into a few Howstons ahead of me, causing a mess. The red Howston spun in front of me and I had no place to go but into him. I spun out myself due to this and dropped back to around 22nd once I got back going.

While I was annoyed by the incident, it made the race a lot more interesting for me. I spent the next 10 or so laps moving myself through the ZRs, trying to get back up to the lead. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Guys like Dan, Chris, and Zak put up a good fight like they should have and I had to work hard for those positions. I was able to make my way past them and about half way, I found myself fighting the leader, Pablo. Like the others, he fought hard to keep the position and it took me a while to get around him as he did everything he could to keep me behind him. But I eventually took the lead over after he went wide into T2. Spent the rest of the race just cruising around, trying to deal with a progressively ill handling car.

Was a lot of fun guys. Been a while since I raced the ZRs and have always had a blast in them. I'll cya guys around :)

But what a race, started in 2nd position but once in T2 Jussi made a mistake and i take the lead, i must give congratulations Jossi and Johan on the fight for the first place, almost in the end Johan hit me and I was without rear wing and lost a bit of stability in car. I chose to keep foward without pit, it was a fight till the end but it was worth it. Congratulations to Connor good races :)

Pretty average performance from me which could have been a lot better result.

Ran wide off the back straight early doors and lost some time, was slowly catching Magnus and Antonio when Johan left us and Jussi got caught out somewhere, so with 3 cars immediately up the road I decide to hit the wall in the braking zone of the main straight and knacker the suspension.

Still somehow I am second in the champ, this is obviously going to be a tight championship!

Good performance from me, first corner I was down to like 17th after a dreadful qualifying then I worked my way up to 2nd in class I think, I made a few mistakes Conor got passed me and from then on it was about conserving fuel and tires, then on the last lap I passed Pablo as he went off and got 2nd
