Blancpain - Rnd 14 - Imola - 7/16

[Deleted]

Congrats to the podium finishers, well done guys.

My race summary....

Very little practice, little pace & wrong strategy = 5th

To make matters worse I damaged my rear diffuser on the chicane curbing and was unable to get the 20 seconds I needed to at least salvage 4th. I will have a new strategist for the final race of the season and will have to crank the A/C and get some practice in this time.

Thanks for the racing last night guys, fun track and great company (at least the few that were able to attend).

I was doing ok, for me at least. Even goofing up on lap 1 I wasn't deterred. I just waited for everyone to go by and started over. I had a good battle with chris, and then we caught Sheldon and that was fun too. Mistakes were made and I was able to get by, then I goofed and spun. Still wasn't deterred and just got back to it. Then like Chris and Dave I hit the tires and ended up in the sand. Burned up my tires and engine, then missed pitlane. Fun track for these cars, just wish I had practiced more.

Like Tony, I will need to get in lots of practice for the last race.
Congrats to the podium finishers and I have really enjoyed this series. I hope it returns for a second season.

I don't know what happened. Qually went better than usual...then went to shit during the race.

Had a fun scrap w/ Sheldon & Jimmy for the middle section of the race (Jimmy was the first 2/3 of the race after we both spun on the first lap). Good stuff. Now if only I didn't spin so many times and clip the final stack of tires trying to run down Jimmy & Sheldon.

Didn't clip the tire stack, check => 4th place
Did have a couple small offs and in hindsight could have revved a bit higher first part of race,
as had fair amount fuel left at the end and might have given Dale a run for the money...
or Dale could have clipped the tire stack and helped me out that way

I almost did once... I have no idea how I missed it. I was short shifting for the first half of the race then noticed fuel was going to be OK. By the time you were chasing me, I was redlining it

It was great to be back. I was having a blast chasing Dale and Tony until that damn tire stack jumped in front of me.

Season finale in two Wednesdays. Remember that it is a 90 minute enduro!!

[AngeloDS]

Looks like I Won the Championship.


Never could expect such a perfect season. To me was a honour race with you all.

Yes, Angelo. Mathematically, no one can catch you. Congratulations for the dominant season. Jeff gave you a bit of a challenge but you clearly prevailed.

I hope you (and everyone) still make the finale next week!

[AngeloDS]

Thanks guys.
I intend to race the last round.

I just dont see the point in do a full 90 minutes Enduro with only 10 or so drivers on the track.
Maybe do a Semi Enduro, 60 minutes, just to see the Season out?

[zedarchitect]

Dies anyone have a problem with running a 60 minute race instead of 90 minutes?

[helios16v]

I'm good with whatever.

[neverender158]

Sounds good to me. I'm down for whatever.

[F1Fan07]

60 will be very interesting, lets do it. I can get about 47-48 minutes on a tank so that makes some interesting options for pit strategy.
