David García, The Black Rebels - 9th

Not a single mistake during the 90 minutes but some corrections. I started P9 and ended the race P9 after some cool fights with the italian guys from Corse Online Racing and some overtakes on guys going to one stopper. At the end I was catching Rami and maybe with some more laps I would have managed to get in contact with him, but being honest, ending the race that close to Rami, without a single mistakes and in a good P9 is a very goo dresult for me.

 

Mikko korkiakoski, GameRacer FlatOut Racing - 1st

Race started well when I was able to get pass Hellsten but then I hit a wall with Carlsson whom I just could not find a way pass. Then after following him closely he got hit by Chris File when being lapped. I had to wait so Hellsten passed me and then in the next turn I went too deep and Rami got me too. So I was now third and again not able to pass anybody because of my aero configuration. Everybody just ran away from me on the straights. Eventually Hellsten pitted and I went passed him and I did my stop a few laps later. I eventually came back on P3 but was easily catching Rami and Hellsten and fast. So after they both pitted I got the lead and decided that I'm not going to give it back. So I pushed on and pitted finally for the 2nd time. By the time I was back running I had a healthy lead and an easy cruise to victory.

 

Peter Carlsson, Gubbklubben.se - 2nd

I was nervous as hell. I could easily hold my first place because Mikko hade to much wing and had a little slow racepace. I think Mikko bumped me way to many times, only luck that we didnt crash. Felt safer when Hellsten was in my back. Some backmarker then ruined the day. I fighted my way up and ended 2nd, took it easy the last stint and a little more problems with backmarkers.

 

Rami Kaukola, Roaring Pipes Maniacs - 8th

Damn, bad luck. 45 min left I pit while leading. With cold tyres I just touch the wall and someone hit me in the rear and I lost rear wind. My fault. Extra pitstop to repair the wing saw my one stop tactick disapear. I finished in 8 place. I was in sixth place until someone hit me in the rear and I lost two places there. I was slow on worn tires and car got lot of damage, tough race.

 

Andreas Hultgren, The Black Rebels - 14th

Had an ok race but was stuck in a mega fight between I don't know how many cars. Gained and lost positions here and there. I then had a little mistake into turn six and had to lift off a little. Burke then turned me around and I lost from like 14th or something to 18th and maybe 15 seconds. But I wasn't going to give up as I wasn't going to refuel on my first stop thinking that having a light car with fresh tyres was a nice strategy. But I came out in traffic and saw that one blowned out the window. I had a nice third stint all alone but by then it was too late to make up any places. Tryed to catch a FDR car near the end but burned my tyres and had to let that one go. Finishing 14th was ok in the end but was hoping for a little bit more.

 

Ihab Abbas, AnE Racing - 15th

One of my best 90 minutes races ever, everything went fine except that I did two pitstops while I was planing to do just one. I got some nice fights over some positions until I managed to get position 7th. I did my first pit stop at lap 35 and dropped to 18th, then managed to get into 12th position again. But after that my tires was dieing and my pit crew told me that I must change them immediately so I did that and I've been dropped to position 18th but I back again to hunt some positions to finish 15th which is not bad for just one practice session ahead of the race as I was the reserve driver for my team.

 

Nicola Dorigatti, Corse Online Racing - 6th

I enjoyed this race! My first time in STC, good result. I started 11th. I had a very good first stint. Until my first pitstop I was racing very well with good fights and overtakes. After that, about lap 51, I was passing (the second time, was 4th and him 15th) Konrad Stanczak which had taken the first corner wide. I took the inside place and made my pass. The second corner he didn't care about his line, he made me spin. I was 4 seconds behind Göran Johansson and I was recovering 2 secnods per lap. After the spin I lost one position (my team mate) and I had suspension problems. After that i had to fight against myself in order to avoid losing time. Anyway, i managed to pass 2-3 drivers and got the 6th position. I'm very sad about the touch since I think that if it had not happened I could arrived 3th or 4th.
