I'm not able to join today, as i have guests. Have fun!!

Shit race ruined by someone... waiting for the replay in order to claim for the crash.

I'm sorry for the 1st lap incident guys. Was a driver mistake not by aggression but too quick downshifting. Many affected from that.

Extremely gutted. First time that I had a pace level which was ok but I needed a last lap effort in quali to drive a sensible time (sounds a bit too bad, because it was a personal best)
Start was ok Ales got by but I could regain my position a lap later but I couldn´t shake him off. Maybe this was one reason that I chose the wrong decision on lap ten. There was a crash in front a turn 12, maybe I saw it early enough for a full brake application but instead of that I crashed into Aitor.
The I was trying to reach the pit but I didn´t found my pit stall so I had to go one lap more with my damaged car. But I couldn´t make it.
Seems that I have no luck here.

I did good qualy lap so I could think even about podium. Poor start and some places were to recover. I overtook JM Feri and I did it two times with Aitor but it seemed he was faster on straight so he recovered P3 on last long straight. I was better in corners so as he did crucial mistake we both were in the same place of the track. Aitor got hit me and "the concrete rubber wheel" at the side of the track stopped me and my engine. It was serious Aitor's bad luck, because two more cars suffered from that (it was bad race accident after all). Possible podium gone, but happens.

I have to start this race report accepting responsibility that my mistake on lap 11 was the start of the BIG ONE. Sorry to Marek, Philipp and Ales.

Qualy: P6

Good laps for my slow pace in this track. P6 was a good result.

Race: P5

Great start gaining 3 places and I had a great battle with Marek but on lap 11 the race ended. I brake late and I went wide when my car returned on track I hit Marek slightly but enough to send him to a mine. More drivers arrived to accident zone and were involved. Great save Csaba. After that I decided to stay on track with very damaged car but I felt that it wasn't dangerous to finish race and take points. Sorry Matheus but I was waiting to S/F straight to let pass you.

Another surprising race, for me.

Did some quality practice, but not for a long time, and chose the Merc.

Quali was curious, as a friend of mine, knowing I was busy, barged into my house to borrow a screwdriver and scared the hell out of me. I wasn't confortable running low 13's, but let go on the result and clocked a great time.

In the race: sad crashes in the middle of the pack. Some cool battles were cooking up, as the one between Marek and Aitor.

Didn't expect the Vette to be so fast in the short straights and to pick up that much speed while drafting in the long one. Anyway, this only helped making the battle with Paul more interesting. Had another jumpscare as we met another Merc standing still by the end of the long straight, but we managed to avoid it (after watching the replay and seeing what happened to him, can't blame it - great sportsmanship on trying to keep the car on the track!).

In one of the last laps, I did the first esses very fast by pure luck and kept pushing to try to beat my PB, wich worked pretty well! :]

See you next race!

Short race this time. At the end of lap 1, there was a collision at the last turn and I couldn't avoid one of the spinning cars. It was, I thought at the time, a light contact, but the engine was dead and I couldn't do nothing except press escape.

But it was worth to see the fight between Matheus Nolli and Paul Anstley at the front. Great driving from both, with changes of position and door to door racing. Beautifull to watch!
