Jose and his shadow Marc, were setting a tremendous pace and I was surprised that I could stay in touch, although I was driving at my limit to be there. The scrap in front of me was intense, and I actually dropped back a second or so as contact between them looked certain at some point... and I might just profit if I did not get caught up in any action
. But, somehow the two of them maintained an incredible pace at very close quarters without contact
, when contact looked like the only possible outcome!!
Jose and Marc up front refused to run each other off the road, or make a mistake. ALthough Marc found a way past Jose at some point, so maybe there was a small mistake in there somewhere?
A little explanation. Marc (MaiPor), Dario (De Martini) and I are friends for a long time and we live in same city. So when we run together we use Teamspeak. It is very easy to give warnings about where is each of us. Messages like: I'm behind you, I'm on your right, I'm on your left, don't worry for the moment I will not try to overtake,etc. So it's to easy keep calm and don't make mistakes.
Report race:
The race was fun. Great fight throughout the race with my friend Marc. In the first few laps were a group of 3. Clive very close to us. Gradually our gap was increasing and Marc and I were alone in the front of the race.
In lap 12 my tires were very badly. I asked Marc what about his tires? and told me that his tires were good. I thought it would be very difficult to keep in front of the race. In lap 15, at the end of the long straight, I left an open door and Marc went through my right. I tried to keep up to be more comfortable and not punishing both the tires but it was impossible to fight for the victory.
Great win Marc. Great job my friend.
Thank you all for run.
Cheers!
