Race 10, The End of All.
All pre-qualified racers showed up at the last event of the championship,
qualification went without any problems (*cough*) and the final race has started!
Aero:Plaich made a trully jump start using the advantage of RB4 GT here,
he jumped from 4th position and overtook RRT.smith, RRT.Koffy and the
leader ocr|RudiTurbo!
RRT.BlicKrig kissed the wall near the exit from hairpin and his team
mate RRT.VOLK overtook him and became 7th. At the same time ocr|RudiTurbo
took back his first position from aero:Palich and took the lead. It’s
happened at the end of "motorway" straight, this time FXO TURBO
had all the advantage over the RB4 GT.
Evo|frik mistakes in the slow turn and goes too wide, [dSRC]nazzard passed
him by immediately.
On second lap aero:Palich loses one more position and becomes 3sd. RRT.Koffy
overtook him in almost the same place as ocr|RudiTurbo did.
On 3sd lap RRT.VOLK couldn’t go clean through T1, he recovered fast,
but not fast enough, so RRT.BlicKrig overtakes him.
Evo|frik disconnected on lap 7 while he was 6th.
RRT.smith spins out on lap 7, exchanging positions with [dSRC]nazzard.
On lap 9 RRT.BlicKrig makes small mistake which allowed RRT.VOLK to
attack after close chasing. RRT.BlicKrig goes off the race line and meets
wall once again, RRT.VOLK becomes 6th.
Everything goes horribly wrong on lap 11 for aero:Palich. He makes an
error in T1 and loses two position at once. [dSRC]nazzard and RRT.smith
dissapeared in the distance while eero:Palich was trying to recover from a
deadly crash. He became 5th then.
RRT.smith overtook [dSRC]nazzard on lap 13, but [dSRC]nazzard attacked
him at the and of finish straight and took his 4th position back. It was
a hard fight, RRT.smith was a bit faster on the exit from hairpin and
overtook [dSRC]nazzard back.
On lap 14 RRT.VOLK makes an error in T1 once again, he wasn’t careful
enough to recover safely and RRT.BlicKrig smashed into his car. Later
RRT.VOLK will get a penalty for that. but now he remains 6th.

Racer’s comments:
RRT.Koffy:
The race was usual for me, I was a bit nervous and spinned couple of times
but a good gap between me and aero:Palich helped me to hold second place.
I’m happy after all, from 4 races i did finished on podium 4 times.
RRT.smith:
Finally, I did most stupid mistake ever: hit wall going on straight... Luckily
certain circumstances helped me to remain 3rd at the finish line. Very entertaining
race, which probably has more struggle than all other races summed.
RRT.VOLK:
I tried hard but couldn’t even show my pre-qualifying time. I drove slow
and made a lot of mistakes, even big
ones. It was a hardest race of a
season for me.

nnPalich:
At last I won the championship. To be honnest I wasn’t sure if I could
compete in TBO-class with the fastest racers in that class. I didn’t race
in that class often before, I like FR-class more. Anyway I raced in all
events pretty stable and that helped me to win the championship. Big thanks
to championship, good selection af tracks and other conditions helped
to learn TBO-class much better. My current experience in that class is
much higher than before the championship. Once again big thanks to all
who organised all this and to all racers. Now about the race. I showed
not the best driving, haven’t done enough training and showed a good lap
time in free practice but still couldn’t drive stable enough. The T1 is
very dangerous, speed is about 180 kmh and i couldn’t get trough it in
all laps, have meet the wall on lap 15. After a big mistake of RRT.smith
I relaxed a bit and tried to do some fast laps, that was a mistake for
sure, I crashed so hard that RRT.smith and [dSRC]nazzard passed me by.
However I didn’t actualy tried my best to fight them back, I could lost
1st position in overall standings only if I finish last
.
[dSRC]nazzard:
A great race at one of my favourite tracks. I was able to get my lost
position back from Evo|frik in lap 1 but he drove pbs almost every lap
keeping only a small gap between us. Unfortunately he disconnected in lap 7.
Due to the mistakes of RRT.smith and aero:Palich I got to the 3rd place. But
RRT.smith finally ensured the 3rd place again after an intense "battle" on
lap 13. @smith: overtaking in T1 wouldn’t be possible if the other driver
doesn’t give way. So thx for the room mate :] Some final words: I want to
thank smith&volk (+all I forgot) for the organisation and the great race
reports, the people providing the servers and of cause all competitors for a
great time.
Cu soon :)
RRT.BlicKrig:
Championship was ended succesfully. In general I got a lot of expirience because it was my first competition. Speaking about last race should say than some luck was belong to me. Sudden disconnect and missed race help me to be 7th in the table.
And that`s fortunate result without any doubt. Some common words - learn to take part in long races and try to be stable. I`m going to join to the next seasons :)
P.S. It`s important that races were hold in friendly mood...thx you, guys!
[dSRC]hackerx:
As unfortunately I had light fever and headache, my only goal this
time was to cross the finish line and get last place points to
secure my 3th place in champ standings. And that’s what I did, despite
of numerous stupid errors (forgot to brake or change gear several times).
