That was an real cool race !!!!!!!!!!! in fact most of the time it was more constant hotlaping then a race…I extremely enjoined this…
Qually = P5 , fine
Start = I completely dreamed off that , lost 6 places.lol . P11
T1 = 3 cars crashed ; P8
T2 = another 3 cars crashed ; P 5 again
L1-L8 = simply hotlaping
L9 = Peter missed a bit the exit of T1 , so I could pass him onto the way to T2
Now I was hunted by Peter
L10 = P.Visser came back to track in front of Peter , but immediately moves to the right
to give Peter a free passing by . Very well done . big hand on that !
L 14 = Peter and I could reduce the gap to the leading `fours `.
L 17 = Al got surprised by Billy , who tried too find the pits entry. Roger took that chance to slipstream
Al out on the main straight . As well Tusman did benefit and come real close to Al.
L = 18 I reached slipstream effect area to Tusman , serves me my PB off 1-25-71
L 19 = leading Roger under tremendous pressure by Al .enables Tusmann & me to close up to them
L 20 part 1 = Minardi still didn’t realise he`s gonna to be lapped , so Roger was really needed to slow down
into T1 . Unfortunately Al did realised that a bit too late ; turns out in an overbrake spin ..
Tusman could pass , not so I . Luckily my car wasn’t damaged.
But bad luck too on Peter then , who of course closed up on me but ended up in sort of warp contact
at the exit of T2 , damned. However P3 to me
L 20 part 2 = Roger slightly run wide at T4. I am sure he was hardly fighting to get back control over his car , but
unluckily he ended up crashing right into Tusman .
However , next thing Roger did , I am still unhappy with .coz he immediately drove back on track ,
simply to accelerate into spun off Minardi…then his car crashed into mine.
I did had to make an shift-R and P1 was a thing of the past.
My replay do not show what happened to Peter and Al that situation , but I guess in following positions
had been : P1 = Al , P2 = Peter , P3 = Roger , P4 = Tusman and P5 = me
L 20 part 3 = Roger did spun another time and Tusman and I could pass him . P4 now.
Last 4 laps past by…without any sensations to me ..
All in all to me it was an very very great and thrilling race . Did have big fun. Thx all .
Congratulations goes to Al , Peter , Tusman , Roger and all.
See ya soon at Oulton Park
