well, despite being the finals, it was the most boring and frustrating race (besides Silverstone). 95% of the time I was riding alone through the Alps, 4% I was being overtaken on, surprise, the straights and the other 1% I messed up (and was overtaken).

Quali: I have no idea how I pulled a 57.17 outta my ass , but damn that was cool!
H1: Awesome battle with Minder! Absolute pleasure racing with you. Great job on that win! Finished 2nd.
H2: Started 7th and climbed up to f'ing 1st!! Could not believe it. Great battles with Ed and Bossy. And a great battle with Zombie and offcorsa at the end for the win!
H3: Started 8th and had an incident with offcorsa, but didn't lose too much time. And this is about when all shit started to hit the fan for me... A stupid mistake into the back of NRTH on Lap 1, the last turn, really sorry about that! I was looking behind me for a moment, but thankfully NRTH didn't get spun. On that same turn, another incident with offcorsa right after bumping NRTH... A few laps later, Geralds car door slams me. I say car because I'm 99% sure it was a lag spike, lost a bit of time there. Lastly, I'm pretty sure I had a sudden rush of shit to the brain and managed to slide into NRTH on the penultimate turn taking us both out. That was idiotic and all I can say is I apologize, man.
Overall, a mixed bag for me, but quali and the first two heats are the memorable ones! Another great series Sven, thank you so much!

I had a lot of fun despite having the title taken from me in the final race
First heat was constantly a battle of losing time and then gaining again on Dima and MinDer, while at some point almost being eaten by Ed. Now back to medium world settings because DAT FRAMERATE DROP. Pro Tip: even for 3x22", you need a really beefy GPU.
Second heat I got tapped by MinDer twice, the first I could save, putting nearly all the effort in I could, second time was on the corner separating the national track from the GP, and no escaping the barrier here. Passing a Lotus in this series was pretty easy if there's a nice long straight, so Urlauber was cake You have to make use of those corners more mate!
Third heat was a solid contender for best heat of the series for me. Spent a lot of time on front row watching Edtheshed and MinDer swapping positions while having Zombie often on my rear bumper (thanks a lot for being patient and not trying anything stupid costly ). In the end, end, eh Ed, made a glorious run wide on the very last corner of the very last heat moving all of the aforementioned bar Eddie himself one position up, making me laugh so hard I nearly missed my shift with Zombie still on my tail
Good stuff, enjoyed the series, hope you guys had a lot of fun, despite the summer affecting the attendances rates a bit..
Thanks again for flying Cosy!
Also a big shout out to especially Gerald! Huge respect for sticking with it without the podiums in sight! Keep it up, very much appreciated!
Hello guys!
The first race was ok for me. I had a realy nice battle with edtheshed and I think he have taking over the nickname from me (The biggest ass) . Second race I had a bad start, I end up behind edshed again and when I tried to over taketake him I lost it and crached in to the wal.
After that I race quit because i was really too tired to race. I have been playing Golf all weekend and I have to go up so early next morning. Sorry for the race quit!
But thanks for nice racing.

fuck yea this was one of the most fun, closest racing I have had with cosy!
had been rock climbing all weekend and after driving 3 hours managed to get back with 7 minutes of qualifying to go, that's already a win! got 7th.
Heat 1
Most of this race I was defending from Bossy. No doubt he could do a quicker lap in the mazda, but the attributes of the supra once again make it almost impossible to pass! Finished 4th
Heat 2
After settling down after a good start, Bossy was once again behind me. Still no way past for him though. sorry for your spin man! Straight after, sven and Minder were both trying to get past. I defended well from sven, then they came together behind me. Cruise to the end. 4th again.
and kudos to Dima for the win in this heat. Great drive!
Heat 3
Following behind Minder who was in 1st. He made a mistake at the final turn and I managed to get up the inside into t1. What followed was some legendary close racing. Side by side for almost a whole lap at some points! I defended so well for about 8/9 laps i think. Minder, Sven and Zombie were in a train behind me for so long. The final corner of the final lap, I must've thought I had it in the bag, and omg the worst corner ever. I just ran wide, but lost 3 places, 6 points in the championship, and 3rd in the overall individual championship... fml
Awesome racing guys. Overall, this championship was great. I have definitely improved from last series. While personal mistakes still cost me, they were much fewer in occurance. Just need that extra bit of luck to fight for the overall I think
Congrats to Minder for the overall win. You're too fast! Well done to my team-mates zombie and gerald. Big thanks to sven for all the work, and to everyone for the good races. x

Hi Dimavika,
Happy to read this. Apologize accepted. I really thought what are you doing. The accident can happen, had just the same with Geraldflysa, but I waited.
II really enjoyed this serie!
The RX7 is one of my favorite car and the fine setups by Sven kept the wildness of the tuned version.
The tracks visited allowed a lot of good battles, which have never happened without all of you, guys!
Having teammates was new for me and have to say it was pleasant to see them on track; thank you Mr_Chip and CrusadeR32!
Final races were epic, Red Ring and the "used to their machine" pilots given intense moments of racing in those 3 races.
I wasn't confident at all when I was sandwiched and screwed up a lot in first race. Unfortunally, I took Sven with me (twice :/), sorry man.
I get lucky in the last race as Ed who defended all the race without any flaw, gone wide in the last corner. It surprised me a bit because I gave up to overtake him.
Second serie title, thanks to the fairness of the rules . And again thanks to all of you for great racing! and Sven for making it happen
