Round 6 - Detroit Street
Sunday, 17 August 2008 00:00

Maranello scored another win after Assen eventhough starting from 15th on the grid. Dzariq had a moment with his computer and had to settle for 11 despite scoring Pole Position. Ryugan had the fastest laptime around Detroit.

Soze brought back 2nd place for the Veterans :

"First of all I wish to thank Azrink for sharing his setup with me. The setup suits me well and all I did was just changed the fuel strategy..and it worked!! Thanks bro! I had a bad start actually and at turn 1 as I go side by side with RonMD, we accidentally touched our wheels and RonMD lost control and spun which caused the SC to come out..sorry guys. From 8th I managed to climb to 3rd till I pit on lap 15..lots of time wasted in the pits as I have to wait for Azrink coz we're sharing the same pitstop..lol this is where I drop to 5th position. Had a very tough time later chasing hisham79 but managed to take the 3rd position as hisham79 had to pit on lap 19. I had to make a fast pitstop on lap29 so I decided not to change the tyres but hisham79 managed to grab the 3rd position from me. Later Ryugan was out and hisham79 pit on lap33 which left me on 2nd all the way till the end. My second podium this season, as what u said Mara, all the practices and all the patience really pays for me here. Lucky I had no spin..I was really scared of the walls actually."

Penzman is third! And after enduring a tough weekend in Assen with all sorts of rfactor installation problems, he put it all together and produce an impressive run to the end.

"Last minute decision: 11 laps of fuel at the start and 3 more stops like that again on red scrubs.

Had a good start in 8th on the inside at the green and hugged the wall around the curve as fast as I could to hide from the shrapnel behind. I crashed myself after more laps and lost a few positions, had to pit anyway but lost time. Repairs took a minute and I m on 3 stops, no more repairs like that I thought, so I drove almost flawlessly for the rest of the race. One thing I remember is keeping my mind on one car at a time in front when I realized 3rd was possible, one by one I went to get them, in 5th I wanted more and said I want 3rd and went to get it, lucky me as whoever was in 3rd then had to pit just at the end of the race shakehead.gif laugh.gif nod.gif

I want to to mention Bonn2020 ( I think) with a damaged car who let me by flawlessly every time I lapped him. I had to do the same for Mara once, I like the blue flag, it demands skills and I always appreciate seeing those courtesy moments in a race, almost like well timed choreography. Azriq and Mara helped with a setup notworthy.gif

LONG LIVE MALAYSIAN SIM RACERS !

Hisham79 is the black knight of Season 7. He finished a brilliant 4th and he knows that is enough to keep him in contention for the championship. He is the Kubica of MSR, capable of catching the top runners napping.
