FT Toban

thanks lukanov, you made a clean pass, :(

Good race from what i saw.. LOTS of cutting, and since these cars are ALL about your line, it made a big impact.

i had fun, cant wait for Rhez! :D

i was doing mid 1:05's steadily, until lap 15 or something... Had a big and important meeting with the wall and then it was all downhill. I tried to stay inside the white and yellow lines at all times, but couldnt help sometimes "cutting". That depended on braking stability and turn-in, in which both i wasnt able to achieve while setting up my car. Overall a nice mid-pack quality race for me, i enjoyed it!!!

VERY hard to say if it was my fault or not, but I got crossed in a turn on the warmup lap that took the front wing off then stopped to replace and got the lovely DQ ... next thought: maybe NEVER race another R2P unless I'm 100% there's no tech difficulties ..

Bill, you got the DQ for leaving pit lane when the red light was displayed. You _have_ to wait for it to turn green (usually about 30 seconds after the start of the race).

...

Joah, I give you a lot of room, man! Look a replay! I drove on outside, but you drove so wide and touch me. Sorry anyway, but it's is not my mistake.

Qualified 6th, and got off to a pretty good start, passing Peter on the approach to the sharp right-hander at the top of the hill. Richard was right behind me and were were running 4-5. I knew he was quicker, so I was thinking about where and how I was going to let him by when I forgot where and how to navigate the turn I was in, and lost the rear end. After sliding through the grass half sideways, I managed to gather up the car just in time to barely graze the wall with the left side wheels. Traffic was still very tight since we were only a few laps in, so I had to be cautious re-entering, and slipped back on in 7th behind Peter and Bobby.

After a brief off at the bottom of the hill on lap 3, I went by Bobby who had a similar one of his own a lap after that, so I set my sights on closing what had become nearly a 3 second gap to Peter in 5th. I managed to get behind him on lap 12 and there I stayed for the next 6 laps. A good passing opportunity did not readily present itself, since we seemed to be slightly better than each other in different parts of the track.

I finally got lucky on lap 18 when he got a little out of shape exiting the left-hander at the bottom of the hill. I was able to get inside for the approach to the subsequent right-hander, and managed to hold him off for the remaining 2 laps. It was great racing with you Peter - that was a lot of fun.

Congrats to Dmitry for the win, to Richard for getting us on the podium, and to Garth for his top 10.

I looped it on a left hander on the first lap...didn't hit anything but I lost the field and didn't have enough talent to catch up.
