Eurospeedway Skoda

was a fun race. I apologize for causing that mess at turn one.

Absolutely furious with myself!!

Q: Had 1 of my best qualifying sessions in a while was delighted and surprised with third!!

R: Got a good getaway but the redcar behind me got a better one (think it was Mark) he ran wide into turn 1 but Jan got the better of me later in the lap. Me and Jan were having a good fight for third and it was turning into a four way battle for the lead. At the start of lap11 I missed my braking point for turn 1, stupidly slammed on the brakes and started turning, car spun into the wall on the inside of the corner and knocked a wheel off.

Well done to the top 3, last lap was action packed!!!!

Had a great time here. After a few laps it settled in to me trying to get by Andre V. He wouldn't make any mistakes for me and I did rub on him a bit but it was good. Finally got a run into T1 and got by for a few laps before I hit the tires in T1 and gave it back.
Fun time Andre!

That was an AWESOME race.

Qual: My word. I was following Nikola and a few others in qual. Drove my normal line, nothing special at all. Some how some way I managed a great time. I was actually so surprised, going into the next lap I screwed up. Decided to just park it and see if Nikola or Mark could beat it. Luckily no one did.

Race: The start was nice and smooth. Going into T1 I took a little bump from a ?red? car. Nothing major at all, enough though to startle me and make me stare paranoidly (it is a word according to Webster) in my rear view. During the first lap I left a few corners wide and Nikola snuck by.

From lap 2 through the ten minute remaining mark I fell in place behind Nikola. I impatiently tried to find a spot to make a pass. I kept on his bumper for the most park. Bumping, rubbing, pushing, diving, you name it, it happened. I could not find anywhere to squeeze by. When I saw that ten minute warning, I new I had to do something soon.

The next lap (I believe) after the ten minute mark, is where it got interesting. Turn 1 I braked late and tried to make a pass stick on the outside (of the corner and Nikola). I went a little wide into the grass and tried my best to get back onto the track without jumping into the line and while trying to keep my speed. I was able to do so and stay in place to not let Nikola by. From this point on it was the reverse of the first half. I tried my best to hold him off, we were trading paint the entire time. I made a few big mistakes but was able to recover reasonably well. This entire time 3rd and 4th were right on our tail.

I was able to hold of Nikola for a pretty close finish. In all a remarkable race. I haven't had one of these in quite some time. Thanks to all and I look forward to the next one.

Evan said it all :D
It was "just" race to remember :D
Thx Evan, Jan and Matthew for making things even harder.

sorry evan, that would be me who gave you a slight tap going into turn 1. purely a mistake on my part as i braked too late for t1 and i was literally standing on the brakes at that point so as not to hit you :) it was an ok race for me but i could've done without the tap that spun me around and threw me into the gravel. i was able to rejoin in 15th place and had a few battles which i rather enjoyed and managed to fight my way back to 7th. good race guys :)
