Radicals: Brno

I inadvertently turned off replays, so I don't have one to upload for this event :(

My race was a sad tale of over-used tires. I had some great battles in the first half, kept my 190 in the hunt for good position following John Mueller and Miguel, but it cost me dearly to keep up. Took fuel only and came out behind Miguel again and ahead of John, but it didn't take long before I was sliding around and losing ground quickly. Then the more powerful cars in the mid pack began to eat me alive. Fell as far as 8th behind Dennis after an off in T1, but managed to get back by for 7th. A hard-fought race all around, well done all!

Very lucky to finish at the top for this race. Haven't done a long practice run and it cost me dearly in the race. Quali was good and found a good setup for the car. In the race the car feels excellent for the first 8-9 lap and I was able to pull out a healthy gap. But then things took a bad turn. The rear tires doesn't hold up after 9 laps and condition start to get worse and worse to a point where i no long car keep the back of the car to stick using my normal line. Spun a few times and gave the lead to Wing before the 1st pit stop. Did a tire change but I totally lost the rythum. Miguel gave me a good chase and I struggle to get back on my feet. 5 laps to go and I finially find a different line where i am comfortable enough to push the car again (but still not quite back to normal pace). Good race Miguel.

Fun race here with battles with many guys, John, Miguel, Jason, Michael. I was leading the race half way before I messed it up myself in the pit. I turned off auto-pit this time and I was not sure if the car will restart itself after refueling, so I kept messing with the ignition/start button and had my engine started and shut off for a few times...wasted maybe 20 secs in the pit, one more reason for me to prefer a sprint race :)

See ya next time and congrats to podiums!

Another so-so race for me. This Radical just isn't showing me any love. The few battles I had were fun, but they didn't last long because I was off the pace by 2-3 seconds per lap which means I don't have much competition to race with. Oh well, back to the Caterhams next week! :-)

I'm in the same boat as Jason although its an even slower boat. I just can't do anything good with these cars. I feel like a caboose at these races.
Nice win again Vincent.

Sorry guys, got to cooking dinner and totally forgot about this event :(

It is a pity that there is no replay. I would like to look at ours with John struggle.
The second place on start has a little surprised me. I believed that Wing will be faster.
In race I also counted on such result, though expected that Vincent's advantage on finish will be bigger. Grats.
Thx to all for race :)

If anyone is interested, I have the replay for this event. All you have to do is tell me how & where to upload it to - not too sure on that stuff.

Will be nice!
