EFRA GP Series RD2 is finished! Unfortunately again not the result we wanted.

Qualifying 7th in a field of great drivers I was happy with because I was satisfied especially with our race pace for the finals.

Semi Final A I started from 3rd on the grid and found myself leading after the first corner, super nice racing with the other guys. At the end of the 20 minute semi final I finished 2nd giving me a place in the final.

I would start in P5 for the final, A bit of a messy start and I dropped back to P7-8, but it was early in the race and I was sure that we could really attack with our strategy having fantastic fuel economy. But unfortunately I broke a Pinion gear before the first pit stop so our race was over after just 18 laps.

Anyway I was happy that we again made the final and we again showed pace but sadly luck wasn’t on our side. The Car performed good until then and my Engines were really good, Making super power and fuel economy!

Thanks to my sponsors and also my parents as well as Stef for there support at this race.

Till next time
