"Not the races we hoped for." These were the words that were written on the official Scuderia Libra post-race release, and it's understandable, after clinching both titles on the last race of Season 03, they sure wanted to start Season 04 winning, but that wasn't possible. Back in the "RADAXIAN" head-quarters, the Scuderia will now regroup and work towards more positive results on the next round at Phoenix Downs.
"We need to work harder into the car setup, to get every tenth of second off our competition, the task at hand is difficult and we need to focus more than ever, in order to close the gap to the leading team", said driver tib right after the race.

- The race itself was very good, i had some very good battles with Lizard thoughout both races as our paces were very similar, our best laps were less then half a second apart. I had some trouble keeping my concentration on some parts of the race, and made some small mistakes that may have cost me a second place on the sprint race, but in the end, it doesn't really matter, because it was a fun and clean racing, and i know that everyone involved was glad to take part at it. The feature race was exciting, especially went we went side by side on the back straight. The sprint race was exciting and difficult, actually hardest, more probably mania, without continues, i had to drive 5 laps with Lizard being less than 0.2 secs behind me, and when we divided the braking into the harpin, we both lost the tail a little bit, but i was too much on the inside line and lost about half a second more than he, and he went through, then i went all out on the last lap, hoping to force him into a mistake, but i overshoot the second to last corner and went wide, sacramenting my third place.

Driver tib looked glad but disappointed on the end of the races. "Yeah, sure it's bad, nobody wants to hold a position for 5 laps to lose it on lap 6 of a 7 lap race, but such is racing, one day you win, the next you wished you had won" said the uruguayan duude on the debrief meeting.

President Luca di Guevara was more incisive on his declarations :

"It was such a vergonha, la gara was exciting but tib should have hold his position, he could have been piu veloci in the final stages, but he wasn't, but our car will appear a lot in the media coverage, thanks to the fantastica battle he had, and so the sponsors should be piu felici, and THAT is al l that matters. the team will revolucion and get the next race, we're sure."

So, after all that, we are hoping to start the real season on the next race, we have 2 weeks before the race, and it will be 2 weeks of testing and hardwork, to close the gap and be competitive before the next races -- said the chief mechanic of Libra.

All in all, a very exciting start of Season 04, for all the teams.
And we hope to keep it that way, all the way through the end.
