I'm back in Rome right now from a 6h endurance with the kart at Misano kart circuit. I have some small pains all over, but I'll try to join the race in any case.

Hope to see you later chaps :)
 

No way... too tired.


Have a good race. Cu :)

That was a fun race.

Managed to Qualify 5th and for the first few laps stayed there until i got a better exit out of one of the corners to take 4th, next lap i kinda went off a bit and lost it again but was still pushing. after about lap 10 or so dropped to 6th after a few minor off's which cost a few seconds each.

No major problems couple of minor spins and off's but all in all quite happy with that. Until lap 26ish I think, I kinda set fire to the engine :-)

Fantastic race for me. Never a dull moment despite the low turn out. :)

Apex got past me in the first few corners and I thought that I would take it easy and wait for a good opportunity to repass but, it never came and I started to struggle to keep up with apex for a while. Me and Apex had a good chase all the way to the pit stop where we both pitted at the end of lap 19. I only changed rear tyres and managed to get quite a gap to Apex after the stop.

It was then a matter of waiting for TT to pit to see where he would be. After he pitted he came out just a few seconds ahead of me. That must have been a good stop TT.

Me and TT then had a very fun battle. I could catch him but, as soon as I got out of his slipstream to make the pass my car seemed to slow down too much to get along side let alone past. We had a few changes for position and went around a few corners side by side. Good stuff. :)

I started to push a bit more to make the pass during the last 6 laps or so. I eventually got along side on the way into turn 2 (just a kink to the left before the hard right that I am calling T3), we went side by side through 3 but, that gave me the inside for 4. Job done. :)

Great racing as always TT and very nice driving from Apex while I tried to apply pressure in the early stages.

Thanks for attending all and see you at the next one.

Only took 30 l of fuel, H@l. :) I knew I had no pace and my only chance was to get in front with the short pitstop. Was fun but you were gonna pass sooner or later. Was good fun. :) What went wrong with Apex? I kind of hoped for a 3-way in the second part as well.

i had a good pace       i had speed to compete for 1st place   but @ the pit stop i chose to take on 4 tires and fuel so i lost 20 secs on h@l  great racing overall grats to the podium and all the finished and H@l and truetom for pushing me to be a better racer overall in this series.
