That it would be an exciting race for the 2 top leaders.. that we already knew.. Also for 3rd place we had more than one man waiting to claim that position.
Towz-T had only one option to defend his lead .. win the race. Also Monkfish had only one thing to do..Win the race. Then he would have equal points with Tow-T, but would have had two more victories to his name during Season 6 and so would win Season 6.
For the seasons 3rd position we have Xtian, Hanziboy, Rumbl3 and Scatter all very close to each other.
Qualifying:
From the beginning Monkfish attacked right away by claiming the pole (1:15.97) Towz-T came close with 1:16.57 Hanziboy took 3rd place with 1:17.80 Xtian (1:21.97) followed by SLO_Knuckles(1:23.53). The low number of racers was closed by SLO_Scatter(1:29.69)
Strange was the slow time from Xtian, reason.. a lot of technical problems
He crashed his car earlier and repairs were still not completed. He decides not to start the race because he would be a danger to us all with the cars' unreliable behavior.
SLO_Knuckles crossed the pit exit line. 20 second penalty will be added to his finishing time
Race :
Towz-T misses his start completely letting Hanziboy take 2nd position. But he decides the battle for this season must be battled between the two front guys, so he backs down letting Towz-T take 2nd place again. And even takes the lead after a little driver error from Monkfish at the chicane.
10:18.79 - Scatter hits the curb in the turn 11 chicane and flips his car bringing out the 1st SC 27:04.53 - Scatter loses control approaching the turn 11 chicane and hits the tires causing him to flip... SC no. 2 33:48.16 - Scatter flips it again in turn 2 after getting up on the curb... SC no. 3 34:28.13 - while getting the cars bunched up during the SC Hanziboy runs into the back of Monkfish, and Knuckles runs into the back of Hanziboy... racing incident, but remember to slow down when catching the slower cars during SC 44:37.97 - turn 11 jumped out and bit Scatter again, putting him on his top... SC no. 4 48:32.10 - It looks like Knuckles brought the field to the Start/Finish line very slow, then he didn't get on the gas... possibly because he knew he was a lapped car and was trying to give the leaders their chance to pass him. But Monkfish got into Knuckles left rear bumper as Monkfish was passing on the restart and sent Knuckles into the outside wall on the front stretch... racing incident.
Remember there is a rule that says, "When green light is given after a safety car, you can not overtake until the start/finish line".
So don't slow down when race restarts, but go for it. Then follow the normal blue flag procedures the first time it is safe to let the other pass you.
The 20sec penalty Knuckles received for crossing the pit exit line during Qualifying had no effect on his finish position.
Race 9 Finish Order:
1. Monkfish 2. 7Ktowz-T 3. Hanziboy 4. SLO_Knuckles 5. SLO_Scatter 6. liveforspeed.be-XT DNS
So Monkfish takes Season 6 after all. To bad for Towz-T who drove a very good season too !!
Hanziboy takes the last podium position
Nice season we have had !!
We now start the open season summer races.
Hope to see you all on track this Summer. |
