Out stuffed my face at a BBQ today and now I'm half asleep from meat overload.

Sleepwalker leading into turn 1 of the season.
Into the corkscrew Dimavika chasing StephenHill and Sven OldEarl (red) overtaking JImCannon The massive crash in t1 of heat 2 StephenHill trying it around the outside of Sleepwalker Onboard with new member Alyptic_, whose first race was plagued by bit of bad luck.
Pretty difficult races!
I don't know if it was the hangover effect from two long nights, or the fact that these cars really punish every slightest mistake to the fullest, but this must be one of the most stressful series for me in the racing aspect. In qualifying I saw Stewart4444 ahead every time for a few laps and thought "this guy got fast, fast". Indeed he did, but a lap with less braking saw me into the top three. Not into 1:47 territory, but still slightly ahead of Qualifying Nemesis. Usually I can't care less about qualifying, but in these cars it can be incredibly hard to pass, so in those extra laps went. The races. Oh boy. After Heat 1 I was already "quite spilled" after a race long battle with Stephen. But those who know me know that three hours of Zandvoort is not enough to tire me, right? But this one was! The cracks started to show and I had to give up to Sleepwalker right away in heat 2. Spent the entire race looking at things like only our great North Korean leader could do better. Heat 3 was off with a good start, and Sleepwalker constantly got into trouble or battles, to the point where I actually thought I could bring it home. After a late race mistake into that pesky left hander (before another left hander full throttle into the straight to hairpin) going uphill I lost a bit of confidence, and Sleepwalker again managed a pass just by waiting it off. for the exact right moment. Kudos dude, in absence of Zombie-79-, you are my next favorite dude-you-think-you-can-beat-but-cannot. There were still plenty of sharks around the corner with Fauxteam's Toyota craving a serious bite too (you'll understand once the livery is unveiled). The ease of driving away by our Danish coffee brewing dude made me a bit suspicious of the balance between cars, but sometimes, the game is really just the game. Hope to catch you next week, and I would really like to keep it to just one racing heat as this just. is. not. healthy. Props to Chip for the good results as well! Hopefully we'll get Nick Salvo back into the racing vibe

I had a long night out as well - got home just before 6 AM, and only got around 4 hours of sleep Maybe that was why everything seemed to be in slow-motion..
Love driving the Mazda - it responds just how I like it, and can carry a lot of speed round the fast corners if you get it just right. Race 1 was uneventful leading from P1 to finish. Race 2 there was a really great battle with Stephen over 3 laps, being side by side in the corkskrew twice. Race 3 was the most fun with good close racing with Stephen, Dima and Sven - a lot of place swapping going on. All in all a great night - and a really great result! Hope I will be able to join you for the rest of the season as well depending on the internet situation at the new place.
Got to say I think I love and hate the Toyota in equal measures. It just seems so much more “heavier and cumbersome “ than the Mazda, but slightly easier to be “rougher” with.
As Sven said, any small mistake is costly in these cars, and I made too many; including missing far too many gear changes when battling with other cars Did have great fun, and a great few battles with stewart4444 and DIMAVIKA with some great driving and consideration given all round in some very tight spaces |
