Hristo Itchov
My only choice was to win the race and hope Stacey would finish 4th or
lower, and certainly after qualifying it seemed Chris and Oliver might
be capable of fighting for the podium. This time I had a better start
and kept 1st, but Stacey followed closely and the rest dropped back. I
was going a bit slower early on in hope someone would catch up with
us, but after a few laps I realized that's not going to happen so I
switched to full pace. All went well, the car was working as expected
and at about mid-distance I made my pitstop, but Stacey stayed out. I
was wondering what's going on because with 7 laps to go he still had
not made his stop yet! There was the slight chance to make the whole
race without a stop if you save fuel, so I wondered. He was about 12
seconds ahead at the time, but finally he made his quick stop on lap
22 or something, so I was back in 1st. As usual I pushed for a fastest
lap in the end and it worked nicely as a bonus for the victory, but
Stacey's 2nd place meant he took the title. Grats! Looking forward to
Nurburgring!

As i already know by now with the amount of time i can put into screamers atm i am no match for either Stacey or Hristo this event was no exception.

My Q run was rubbish i kept meesing up that 39 so i sarted for 6th. I know i can finish a race and i also know the 2 drivers infront of me ususally mess up somewhere. After the start had a little nudge with Dave ( iam sorry for that) but gave the spot back few corners later i found myself past Dave and settled for a safe pace. The remainder of the race was un event full, that's also a bit the tracks fault as that not really suited for these car imo.

After the stops Stacey was 20+ sec infront and Uwe 20+ behind so 3rd it was.

Gratz to Hristo for winning the race and Stacey with his championship.
