Congrats Axel, Rob, and Tim!

Nice driving Dave and Philippe. My gearing wasn't quite right. I was at max rpm at 250 kmh in the tow before I reached the starting line. I was never sure I could pull past Dave or Philippe before T1. It took Philippe a long time to make a mistake that let me pass. Dave made two mistakes but neither time was I sure I could pass cleanly. The only places I had a noticeable advantage was passing the apex of the slower turns. I may have been able to brake a little better too. You guys were consistent though. That made it much easier for me to assure I never hit you. :) I enjoyed it.

Yes Doni, I robbed Dave. In hindsight that was a bit cruel. I had been patient to assure I wouldn't wreck anybody. I couldn't resist trying to pass out of the last turn though.

Thanks guys.

Another good race and solid result. Couldn't stay with Axel and Tristan, apart from the first laps, and Tim made a few little mistakes and lost touch with me. After Tristan had an off and was down on power, inherited P2. Axel drove faultless and a well deserved win was the result! Well done Tim for another podium. :)

In contrary to the 67 Works race, suffered a lot from stuttering/hickups, and happy to have kept in on track...

I will keep on trying hard the rest of the season despite most of the tracks will not suit the Cooper well. Thanks all for racing. Tough break Roo, and also Tristan, not sure what happened at the last turn...

Bravo axel, grats to the podium
race with a good intensity for me, in the company of Dave and greg...I will remember a long time  :laugh:

I had to resist during all the races first to Philippe, then to Greg.

Unfortunately, on the last lap and on the last straight, I finished the race out of fuel and Greg could overtake me.
Very hard race from start to finish.
By the way, I am always very bad to correctly set up a car and I was the slowest on the track.   

after a good but hard qualif, the race seems to be the same whith a good pressure from Axel,.....till......I got a " brain's off mod "since 1 or 2s.....time to wakup and active the brain " on "but too late......after a front choc whith the armco the engine was on the " F3 Mod " :P....I try to go on for 1 or 2 laps but it  was no need in this conditions.....
well done Axel.....solide victory
...and podium
 cu next one
