Geoff take off with his fast pace , too fast for me. without any battle i get the second place. nothing of special during this race. but i saw a shining richardson tonight. pity for his mistakes.

Luckily I was quickly able to build a gap & gradually increase it as the race wore on even though some of the other drivers were lapping faster than I could manage at certain stages of the race.
Congrats to Alessandro in 2nd & Glenn in 3rd. :clap: :clap: Title: Re: RRE Season 7 (2020) Race Room Merc DTM 2003 - Zeltweg - Dec 10 Post by: Riccardo Gengotti on December 11, 2020, 10:24:42 AM +0000 the first part of the race was pretty good, then after half the race I had big problems with tires and brakes, I tried to spread 3rd position even a little hard but Glenn was too fast, congratulations on the podium

Well done Geoff on a well controlled win and Alessandro for a consistent drive to second.
I ran the car with low downforce and shorter gear ratios and had some pace but can't seem to keep these cars on track for a full race. Really sorry to see Mark end up in the barriers, his pace was getting stronger and stronger but braked later than Riccardo into the second to last turn, I'd got a run and was inside effectively boxing him in meaning his only option to avoid Riccardo was the barrier on the left.

Never been a fan of the track as it puts so much in to getting a few corners done well.
I had braked early enough for the first corner but then seemed to get caught out on the apex and hit the back of someone and spun so spent the rest of the race just trying to catch up. Car felt really consistent and was catching Riccardo rather quickly towards the end but got caught out by how early he was braking into turn 3 then with Glenn right behind into the second to last corner. So much so i had to drive off to avoid him. |
