Season 0505.SE1 - NordschleifePress ReleaseRace Notes

We at CamelToe Racing look back at Nordschleife race and can't forget this image, the Smashed Tomatoes drivers. It was a funny race for CamelToe and the team is looking forward to build a lead in early stages before weight penalty starts to get too big.

That was a unexpected result! I blew my qualifying lap and then blew my race on lap 2. My new teammate is fast and I can't let him do that to me again. Last time I lost two races in a row I was bumped from Madonna back to Bullets :( Race was an eventful one, once CamelToes were leading with a large advantage I challenged Jens for a hotlap competition, whoever set the fastest lap on lap 2 would win the race. And I flipped my car on karoussel. GREAT! A man of my word, I let him by at the start of lap 3 and we drove more carefully from then on until the end. Still we crashed, punctured tyres, pitted. And I also rescued my all-time nemesis TIB from gravel trap. If it was a tomatoetrap I'd have let him there, but gravel hurts when in contact with some parts and, well, it was better to give him a bump since I'd finish second anyway.

Now onto Curitiba, where I'll have to figure out a way to beat Jens in first place, and keep 3 AngryBitingTomatoe drivers between me and him.

JENS: Challenging race for me!  I am very glad that I did some laps prior to the race to learn the circuit.  On my outlap for qualifying I made a few mistakes, including a roll over at Karoussel and sustained around 11s of damage.  My hotlap was fairly cautious with no spins or major mistakes. Pole position was going to go to Shaka, until he made his mistake and I was able to beat him by a slim margin.  The race was ok for me, made mistakes here and there and was only cruising behind shaka for most of the race.  Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun and it was a true test of my knowledge of Nordschliefe (which I have driven on Forza many many times).

I'm sure everyone will be happy to be moving onto a regular circuit and it will be a true challenge to keep all the drivers behind me with my 30kg ballast.  Congrats to everyone for finishing (that started) and see you next Sunday!

On a sidenote, I hope driver Lizard gets his wheel fixed for next weekend.  I was racing behind you for a bit and didn't want to pass you due to your swerving from side to side.  I know it wasn't your fault as you were using a controller but I don't want that to happen every race!
