Season 04Race Results

paulricard

With a half-hour delay, some regulation changes just for this race and anxiety flowing through, our duudes started off the Paul Ricard race.

Qualify went smoothly, with Jens tooking pole with a staggering performance over 2s faster than Liz which was in turn over 2 secs faster than tib.

But being faster is not everything, and right at the 3rd lap of the feature race, Jens made a mistake that cost him the feature race win, he was opening up from tib and liz, when he spun at the entrance of the start/finish straight, sustaining too much damage for him to continue. This left the race opened to Lizard and Tib, the Libra driver was able to leap ahead into 2nd when the LSS driver made a mistake on the end of lap 2, and by lap 4, Tib made his DT, coming back around 7s behind Lizard, which started to gain on him, and opened enough time to DT and come in front, securing his race win at Paul Ricard. So results were : Lizard, Tib.

Sprint race start was exciting, coming from third place, Tib was able to get off the line quicker than the rest of field and went side-by-side with Jens into the first chicane, they touched wheels and tib spun, losing first and second places. From there on it was a procession, Jens leading Liz leading Tib for the rest of the 5 laps. And so they finished. Results : Jens, Lizard, Tib, with Jens scoring the extra point for the fastest laps of the weekend.

Paul Ricard is off and the championship race is getting closer and closer, can Shaka keep his lead ? Will Jens storm into a glorious, epic and impossible championship? Or will Liz take tib's crown?

Next week, the saga continues... FD-04.
