it was a great race, at least from where i was at, the top three ran pretty smooth, i wasn't in the zone, my times were down, from testing, but even if it were, i don't think i would have caught triz. maybe ron, but ron would have made it hard. Triz had that thing dialed in. But hey, two in a row podiums for me, and three in a row for Ron! Ron, finally out of your slump!! My race got ruined in first 4 laps, cars bouncing off wall and other cars divebombing eachother in front of me  Almost caught you dave, I was running 46.2-3 consistent at the end. |

well thank you but two previous 3rd places made things look good until Triz the Aryton Senna in the in the rain Dutchman. just took off and never looked back. sure scrambled up the standings too.

That surely was a good result for me. I tried to set a good time in the Qualy but felt that there was room for improvement. I didnt expect to be on pole. Being on pole helped alot ofcourse since i was the only one having no spray from other cars. Then it was just about trying to stay focussed since a slight error results in slipping away. Had a few moments but no real big errors. Eventually when i saw the gap widening i knew it was all about bringing the car home  The tires were no problem at all this race so I could just continue till I was behind the people at the back of the list. Thats when i pitted and knew with a 23 sec gap between me and Ron in 1st, there would be no real problem. Pitstop went well with no damage to be repaired. And then I steamed on to victory. All in all an uneventfull race for me actually lol but still challenging due to the conditions on the track. Thnx for the race yall! cheers, Tríz (ps Ron i think ur "teammate" forgot your performance the last 3 races... I wish i accumulated that sort of results more!) |

i was barely prepared for this and i qualified 2nd...wow (since half wrecked  ) and that goddamn turn 10 which i spuned at the beginning -.- but made my way upto about 7th and had to do that mandatory pit stop but 3 or 4 turns later, i took of my front wing so i had to go all the way back to the pits and fix that, and now, i was last, so i went up to 10th but the finish was "dramaticer" then i thought, i pass spike at turn 10 i think but i was slower in straights so he re-passed me before the final chicane but i divebombed into him and hit him a little but he got loose and hit me again and then he went spining but i managed to save it...epic :/ |

Weeeeell... lets say the good thing from that race and the real life Kart race the day before is, that I now know for good that I simply suck at rainy weather conditions Start of the race wasn't even half as bad, until I slightly misjudged the gap on SpidolFx and my own brakeway and tapped him from behind  I humbly have to apologize. After that, some laps later on Patch came flying, then I became collateral victim of that fierce fight between Mustang and Dave - all of which wouldn't ever have happened if I wouldn't have been that much off pace. On the 2nd half I did my worst not to get caught by Bmx as well, but expectedly without success. Had I known Mustang to have that many pens, I would have tried to push on final few laps - but the way it was, I rather was happy to stay on the track Dunno what magic you guys did to your cars, but 1:49s was best I could wring out of mine... and out of its driver  So I guess that 8th place was best I could hope for |

I didn't practice as much as I should have, had a lot going on this past week, plus with having the wrong gears in place didn't help matters either.  . But you can rest assure, Team Speedsims will be back in the zone for Sebring! ;D |

i'm not a honda fan but i raced for fun. You know, they're more Ilmor than honda, which has built motors for at least Mercedes and Chevrolet in the past. Just like when it was ford, it was more cosworth. |
