Season 3 Week 2 results

The second leg of our season saw us heading to Europe. It's always a challenge to try and tame the twisty tracks in the 'old world'. but it certainly seemed as if all of the teams and drivers were up for the challenge.

Legendary Silverstone is our first race and everyone was attacking right from the start. The drivers are becoming more familiar with all of the tracks on our schedule and it was apparent during qualifying where all three cars were within 2/10's of each other. HiWind took his first career pole at Silverstone with a lap of 1:15.307. Tex was a 1/10th of a second back with Zoomy another 1/10th from him.

The start of the race was exciting! Zoomy launched perfectly off of the start and was quickly alongside HiWind, pulling ahead going into turn 1. There was some bumping and banging going on but not enough to knock each other off the track.





The turn 2/3 chicane leading up to turn 4 was troublesome to both HiWind and Tex, both of them experiencing problems on cold tires. HiWind pushed wide out onto the grass while Tex dropped a tire off the track and spun out, facing the opposite direction on the track. HiWind was able to hang onto the car and drove back onto the track, followed shortly by Tex.





HiWind had a fast car and was able to catch up to Zoomy after a couple of laps. He had a look down the inside of Zoomy at turn 8 but couldn't make it stick. Zoomy wasn't challenged again and went on to record the race win. HiWind came in second and had the fastest lap of the race which incidentely was faster than his pole time by 1/10th of a second. Tex came in third, some 10 seconds off the pace.
