Season 04Race Notes

scudettoWhen you can't win, the best thing to do, is finish second, this was the motto of SLT during the races at KnockGreenHillZone.

The team was unable to find a decent setup for the wet race, so we did what we could do it to minimze the losses, finish second. Tib did a good job overall, considering the awful track conditions, and it was able to keep the car in one piece to cross the line and score the points.

Driver tib :

The event started out ok,i was faster during the FP, which lead me to believe i had a shot at scoring the pole position, however, the weather changed and with the flooded track our setup wasn't ideal. I struggled with the car but managed a second place with .53 lap, 2s slower than Shaka's pole time. Feature race was a mayhem, i lost the car 3 times, spun and lost a bunch of time. KnockGreenHill Act 1 was miserable, and kinda boring, because there wasn't any real challenge for positions, and we did what we could.

KnockoutGreenHill Act.2 was much better, dry track, the setup was working ok, and the race started with me rocketing through the field into the lead position, and battled with Shaka all through the 14 laps, the gap between us was never more than 1 second, which kept me on my toes the entire race, leaving me with almost no room to breathe. It was a very exciting race, and i'm really glad with the result. Shaka was faster through the race, but i was able to block him, fairly and we had a clean race, and i gotta say, i'm REALLY glad that i didn't pulled another A1-03, i tip toed my way around the track on the last lap, but i was able to win this one, miniming the losses to the team. Now onto to Richmont Belter and to try to gain points over the competition.

President Luca Di Guevara :

Fantastica gara, no ? Our sponsors are greatly happy, we had lots of coverage this race, with tib finish in the top 2 on both races. We had some issues on the wet gara, but tib was piu veloci on the dry gara and winning is winning, said the great philopher Vin Diesel on Fast and Furious : "It doesn't matter if you win by a second or a mile, ask any racer, any real racer, winning is winning" and if such a smart guy as him said so, who i am to disagree? Maybe we could hire his services sometime.
Anyway, fantastica gara for the Scuderia, now we go to the Transylvanian Oval in the USA, and there we will try to collect more money, more sponsors and also more wins. After all, winning is winning.
I was thinking about feeding the mechanic who did the wet gara setup to the Dragon again, but i was playing WonderBoy III this week, and it turned out the Dragon was evil, how wicked is THAT ? Also, in Soviet Russia, the Dragon feeds you! So, he wil live, for now, but maybe not for long, anyone wants to send a resumé for the job of Chief Mechanic ? E-mail me at revolucion.now@scuderia.libra.com

Intern Chief Mechanic (who is still alive, by a split of luck) :

Well, i don't know what happened on the wet race, the setup was correct, i think it was the driver's fault, to be honest. I even put wet specific tyres for him, and the car didn't run out of gas, so, it wasn't my fault.

Hot Intern Chick :

Like, what this is all about? Racing cars ? That is so weird, these guys, they stay, like, the entire day, talking about cars and racing, and asking me to write numbers, don't they know that i can't write? I have, like, just done my nails, geez.

This was a exciting event for the team. And we are gald to be apart of racing of this caliber.
