Week 2 Zandvoort Race Results

Race 2 started out a nice sunny day for qualifying. Tex had the pole until the very last lap of qualifying when Zoomy laid down the fastest lap of the session barely beating Tex by 13 thousandths of a second; 1:47.278 to 1:47.291. HiWind unfortunately never found the groove and was third on the grid.

The start of the race saw both Tex and HiWind pass Zoomy who had a slow start. Zoomy put on a charge and got past HiWind at the turn 4 hairpin with an awesome outside-in maneuver on cold tires. His euphoria didn't last long though as he dropped two tires at the exit of turn 6. This dragged him off course allowing HiWind past.

Tex was pulling ahead about a second and a half a lap while Zoomy was pushing hard to catch up to HiWind. He got close but threw it away under braking at the turn 8 hairpin. Tex didn't have much better luck himself. Once again he spun out at the start of lap 4 and could only watch as HiWind went blasting by taking the lead.

Lap 5 saw HiWind and Tex battling for the lead, neither wanting to give too much room for the other driver. Tex was finally able to take the lead with an outside pass out braking HiWind into turn 7. The race would finish in that order; Tex, HiWind and Zoomy. A repeat from race 1.
