A snapshot of the battle between Evohahn and Soze
The gap between the race leader and Maranello55 was never too far and consistent. It is looking as if the decrease in track temp is affecting Mara's pace as Muaz cuts the gap by 0.5s per lap, from over 9 seconds to now just only 5 seconds. But its was Muaz time to pit, and Bonn2020 and arnaud, again.
Meanwhile Afif overtakes Kamal90 when the latter spun at the exit of Rivage. He was trying hard to shake Afif off his tail for about 5 laps now. Afif is now in 8th place. Antonio is up to 2nd place overtaking Muaz on the pits and leads the pack overtaking Maranello55 during his pitstops. Both Maranello55 and Muaz finished their one and only pit stop for the race and resumed the race with around 9 seconds separating between them. Antonio let Maranello55 pass because he claimed later that his tyres were going away from him. Whn he let Muaz pass, the gap between the two leaders are down to 7.5 seconds. With fresh tyres, Maranello55 held onto the gaps and responded to Muaz pace. While Bonn2020 had a lengthy pitstop and lost alot of places. RonMD pitted in for his single pit stop, after Bonn2020 done with his stop. Bonn2020 then overtakes Soze, who is suffering by the lack of pace all race long. Another fiery retirement of the race is RonMD, only a lap after his stop. His engine let go at the end of Les Combes. A very peculiar failure, because RonMD ran in a very safe rpm range. This is the 4th engine failure of the race. Is there gonna be anymore engine failure? One driver might have this kind of thing playing in his mind. Hisham79 pitted in on the same lap RonMD blew his engine, so does Evohahn and arnaud, again...a lap after. Antonio is leading the lap! He apparently is opting for a very long stint. But he finally pitted, together will Kamal90 in and Maranello55 retake the lead again. While pitting he lost the place to Muaz and Ryugan, bonn2020 and Kamal90. On lap 29 Ryugan and Afif made a pit stop, so does Soze one lap afterward. Evohahn ovetook Hisham79 but gave back the position after having to pit in a strange time. Same with Bonn2020 and Soze, who had pitted only 9 laps earlier. Antonio lost a place to Afif in the closing laps! Antonio was slow out of Pouhon and Afif on his P1 car touched the back of Antonio's P2 and send him spinning. At the same time Muaz, who is trying to pace up to close the gaps to Maranello55 got caught in the camaderie and lost a huge amount of time and wasted effort. The gap was too big for him to bridge now. Kamal90 was chasing EvoHahn until for unknown reason, the latter retired from the race and awarded Kamal90 with 8. Soze took 9th place. Maranello55 win in Spa with Muaz and Ryugan filling in the Podium. The championship takes a one week break before proceeding to the tight and daunting track of Brands Hatch. Bonn2020 made a discovery of his pitcrew repairing his damage on his car during pitstop despite specifying not to. "Eventhough choose not to repair during pittstop (lap 38 if im not mistaken)...due to fuel not enough.. still repair... coz me 60 sec...and lose my position from 4th to 10th.... Luckily manage to finish @ 7th ... Dear Admin kindly... pls check or consult us... tq " Race official had suggested for him to adjust the 'Smart PitCrew' line in the .plr and see. |
