Skoda: Varano #1

Possibly the worst race of my sim-racing career.

Well done Balazs and the podium.

Congrats podium.

The start of race 1 was quite a disaster approaching T1, parts flying everywhere and almost did a complete stop to avoid hitting stopped cars on track.

Could only get to 16th (not passed that many on track, many others left) and that put me in a better place for 2nd race.

Cheers.

Strange "weekend" this time. Qual was so important this time, tight track, heavy Skodas, almost impossible to overtake the driver ahead if he is doing laps free of errors.

1st race:
I couldn't drive my best in qual. Was focused not to cut the track and that put me 12. place on the grid. So I focused to try to make top 10 on the 1st race. With a bit of luck, maybe 8th. :)
Was somewhere between 9-11 with some close calls with mr. Otto mainly. He spun and I took him at the exit of the corner. The car started to lift to the right (on the brakes espec.) So, from then on, Mikkola was behind me and I tried to defend that, if I remember, 12 spot. It worked for some 4-5 laps or so. Then, boom. I took the tires and my race was over. Mikkolas too. Sorry for that. He was so close and he couldn't avoid my Skoda.
Ahhh.
Not as expected.
Congrat to all at the front.

Congrats to the podium.

I should of been up with the front runners but got hit turn 1 spun in front of everyone got hit somemore, was last now moved up a bit but was getting held up by the back of the pack. was running fine without a wing till i lost the backend and hit those tires in the chicane. atleast the 2nd race was alot better, hope to see more of that then in race 1.

It was one of the closest, cleanest, hardest, touring car rush I have ever participated. Thank you and congrats to the drivers in the front, it was a pleasure to fight against you!
But the 2nd race...

I started 5th and recovered some positions because of the first lap incident. I was fighting for the podium from the first lap to the last one. It was amazing. It was one of the closest races I've ever seen. I had very nice and clean battles with Sam, Alfredo, Balazs, Kirill, etc. Thanks guys :)

/ADMIN NOTE/
I've seen that some drivers don't know the rules, specially the punt rule that now it is applied in the whole race. Please read them here: http://files.race2play.com/Race2Play_CCRs.pdf

Remember that you can complaint about an incident if you want, send me a mail to "takedanobutora@gmail.com" or PM me describing the incident.

U guys very fast... I can't imagine how fast you could be :)

But first lap at qual and I get pole! WOW. I thought my time is not enough to be 1st. But its enough.

At first lap I afraid cut corners, and pay extra caution - that slow me. And at same time I be slower then guys behind.
If I had fresh tyres - I can hold all you behind. Nice train be :D like Trulli train. But at second half race - tyres not be good as at start :( . And I start lose position to driver after driver :(. All you dont much load your tyres as I, and at that moment had better condition tyres :) I try defend my position every time but can't do better as 6 place

PS maybe I much worry about cut's? more then others... don't know

PPS Very clean race, clean overtakes from Balazs Toth, Pablo Martinez and others

Lol, Trulli Train! I guess you watch F1 on ITV?

No... I watch F1 at last year's. Now it boring. Skoda's race much intresting

Yes, it is quite boring now. Hopefully next year's aero changes will help overtaking.
