Race report: Donington Radio Remix: Horta Screams in SEGA Porsche While Pit Wall Remains Unimpressed
CHEQUERED FLAG! HE HAS DONE IT! FERNANDO HORTA CROSSES THE LINE AT DONINGTON PARK TO SNATCH A MASSIVE, HEART-STOPPING VICTORY IN HIS SEGA PORSCHE GT3-RSR!
Rewinding this rapid-fire 5-lap GTR2 sprint, Horta claimed P1 with an official total time of 6:02.595, setting a blistering fastest lap of 1:09.348. He left Emmanuel Collard's DHL Porsche 1.576 seconds behind in P2, while Tim Sugden and Alexei Vasiliev could only watch from a distance. But while the driver was screaming into his helmet, the pit wall was busy eating chips.
Horta (#02): *heavy breathing* DID YOU SEE THAT?! LAP 5! I AM A GOD OF THE CRANER CURVES! A TOTAL GOD!
ToeJam (#02 crew): We saw you almost slide into the Leicestershire mud on turn three, big homie. Calm your jam. You won by less than two seconds.
Horta (#02): But my lap time! A 1:09.348! That is two whole seconds faster than Collard's best lap! The SEGA Porsche was a supersonic hedgehog out there!
Earl (#02 crew): Yo, you got lucky the race was only five laps, man. Any longer and the gearbox would have exploded from your terrible downshifts. We have seen better driving from a broken toaster.
Horta (#02): I do not care! P1 is P1! Bring out the trophy! Bring out the champagne!
ToeJam (#02 crew): Best we can do is a warm soda we found under the seat of the truck. Move your butt to the podium before they realize we did not pay the entry fee.
Ps. Wilco, we need you back, these aliens are starting to think they are fast.
