E90: Pukekohe #2

Back on form here, some good battling on the way and managed to avoid any unnecessary contact, underestimated the practice required to run these round here, well done to the winners/podiums.

during final laps of 1st race got my bmw going really nicely
thus decent starting position. had good start but there
was really nowhere to go so got stuck behind Barney i htink (?)
anyhow on turn 3 someone then hit me, lost some spots and got
stuck behind Rogier and the guy who hit me. few laps
raced with Cox there, good stuff m8! then eventually catched
this one dude but
he did some ehm.. blocking moves but finally made mistake
so got past him also.
again lucky on gainning some positions there but Rogier
was nowhere to be catched anymore. thou i tried to the
bitter end lol.

Cant Believe it, second disco DNF of the day... hope it wont happen again on indy95...

Very fun race as long as it lasted, great battles on both races with Dan, Sam and Barney. Congrats to the winners

By the way Sam, did your last week internet provider came to Brazil? maybe they were fired and came here to balance the Karma... =)

strange..

i was punted on lap 1 going into t2. But the drivers name doesnt show up in the result. Why?

Well after that i was last and managed to climb back to 19 pos.

my biggest problem was front-runners, they got passed me and then the got off track a couple off sec later.
then i again had to let them pass again.
not funny but when your last you have to take it and try to improve to next event.....

God sommer , vi sees snart.

A decentish start again and battling with Klein, Toni etc in around 6th/7th.

Then made a mistake and from then on it was a nightmare, completely lost my concentration and couldn't keep the thing on the track!

The really annoyiing thing also, with all the scraps at the front Klein and Toni came first and second! If i just stayed on the track... GRR!

I was able to do steady 59's - low 1 mins in praccy, but that seemed to go out the window in the races.

I seemed to find it particular difficult into the fast right hander after the start finish straight, which caused me some problems in the race.

Quali: Race 1 I managed a decent time which had me starting in mid field, but the car was very slow off the line.
Race 2: I made a mistake into turn three and the vehicle was not able to move...I chose to esc and start from the back.

Races: I was not able to post the low times I was doing in praccy and was a little uncomfortable in the traffic. I compromised both my races through this and once lapped, I not only had to keep my eye on the front, but also on the lead lap cars, coming up behind.

I would like to say that as I am usually being lapped, I am kind of used to being in this position but I found some of the lead lap cars did not overtake safely. I was even punted off track by a car lapping me. It was in the turn 2 /3 area, where I really could not do anything to allow more space.
I am not sure whether the driver did a drive through or not, but a little more patience would have cost him no more time, and would not have cost me recovery time.

Until next time

Great fun fighting Prado, Minton but as normal Prado had the legs in this race he got past when I got it all wrong in turn 3 I tried a move but braked too late and ran wide laughed at my self :) then another disconection I was expecting it sometime I hope my new provider has better stability

Grats to podium well done Rogier
