However it turned out to be a real thriller. It all started with the qualifying, as every race does, but I mean the thrilling part here. :-)
So, Norbi did an amazing lap of 1:21.32 midway through the qualifying, while Roly was in 2nd place close behind. But Roly did an even faster lap! Not by much though. He beat Norbi with a lap of 1:21.31, just 1 hundreths of a second, finally some excitement after the last two races! Norbi still had the chance to beat that lap, with amazing splits, but he just couldn't do it. Roly secured his 2nd pole of the season. Ájjle Bobbi was 3rd with a very good 1:21.75, while king13 and Vertic followed to make the top 5 complete. The results:
1. Roly 1:21.31
2. Norbi 1:21.32
3. ÁjjLE Bobbi 1:21.75
4. king13 1:21.92
5. Vertic 1:21.97
6. Palee 1:22.10
7. csűrdöngülős 1:22.16
8. TasMan 1:22.31
9. Gergő 1:22.36
10. Marki 1:22.53
11. Prezsi 1:22.58
12. atib 1:22.83
13. cactus 1:23.16
14. Light 1:23.21
15. Csti 1:23.23
16. laube 1:23.50
17. domino 1:24.06
18. Zoleszzz 1:24.12
19. Walaki DLair 1:24.76
20. Lajoosh 1:24.87
21. speedy 1:24.89
22. Chase 1:24.98
23. Reechy 1:25.25
24. Tom 1:25.57
25. voicegab 1:26.14
In group A there was a little pushing at the 1st turn, Gergő braked too late compared to the others, who were a bit too careful under braking into the 1st turn. He turned Vertic around, who rejoined at the back of the pack, but in the chicane I hit the wall while leaving it and I spun out. So it was me, who was last.
Meanwhile Norbi already took the lead in the 1st turn, only to lose it in the 2nd lap, when he hit the tyres at the entrance to the chicane. Roly was now in 1st position and he never looked back, he drove an excellent race to record his 2nd victory of the season. This time he beat Norbi head to head, not because Norbi disconnected and because he was in a slower car anyway. So, congratulations to Roly!
King13 couldn't keep up with the two aliens, but he finished in 3rd place to secure his 3rd place in the standings as well. Ájjle Bobbi made some mistakes at the start of the race, but he did an excellent job to make his way back to 4th place. He has only 22 points less in the standings than me, so he could still steal away 4th position from me, but he will have to drive an excellent race to have any chance to succeed.
The two Infernos came in 5th and 6th place, and they have moved up to 3rd place in the team's standings, with only 7 points ahead of Torn to Pieces (Vertic & me). We will be pushing hard to get back that position! :)
Prezsi came in 7th place after a very close finish with Marki, just 5 hundreths between them! Vertic managed to move up to 9th place after the 1st lap incident, but he said he was very disappointed with his performance, he made too many mistakes. Otherwise he could have had caught up with Marki and Prezsi. I finished in a disappointing 10th place, that 1st lap spin really ruined my race, and my nerves as well. :) At least I drove a pb...
Cactus drove in group A for the 2nd time in a row, he had a lonely race and finished 11th. TasMan finished 12th, but I don't think he will be satisfied either, he was quite fast, but not consistent enough. Light, Csti and ATiB were the last finishers, they produced a fairly close finish too.
We had a little more racers this time, than on FE gold, which meant 10 racers in group B. Laube started from the pole, with domino and Zoleszzz following. Walaki DLair drove his first race in about a year, welcome back! :) Speedy had his first S1 race ever, after Palee talked him into taking part. Good luck for your next races speedy!
Laube won the race as he was significantly quicker, than the other guys, Walaki finished 2nd, but only thanx to Zoleszzz who disconnected in the last lap, bad luck! :( Domino secured the last place on the podium, while speedy finished 4th in his first race, nice one! Chase, Reechy, voicegab and Tom were the other finishers, with Zoleszzz and Lajoosh disconnecting.
