Brooklands UK is the most demanding circuit of VHCS. AIs do their best SE driving whilst the crossroad layout brings more than enough trouble to the pilots.
Magicj led the grid after qualifying but it was jo.sk who led the race immediately, jumping ahead of the German after the first lap. Although slower, the Frenchman’s AudiTT passed quicker through the chicane due to smaller size and that proved to be critical.
Jo made a slight gap ahead of magicj & akouk who fought for 2nd place. After a while akouk escaped from magicj’s pressure and started eliminating the difference from the top. Just in time for pitting akouk took the lead but got caught up in traffic and Jo regained immediately.
By that time tony (who was always following close-by in 4th after overcoming LongBow’s resistance) was already on fresh tires and with very fast driving managed to clear the straight in 2nd place, just as akouk & magicj were exiting the pit-line. Akouk got some clearance after a while and started gaining on Jo all over again, but the French was already in a safety distance.
Magicj & tony fought for 3rd for several laps. The Russian was very quick from time to time but made many mistakes which finally might have cost him 3rd place.
Italian -it did a great comeback in the last laps, up to 5th place and managed to eliminate no less than 2 secs difference from LongBow who seemed tired during the last laps.
Regulars Raska & robylu fought their own battle almost all distance long, both with AudiTT.

ANALYSIS
Jo drove very fast and took advantage of his AIs relativ slow tempo. Akouk’s AIs was also slower and that’s what gave the extra lap pts. On the contrary, magicj was dealing with the fastest AIs, even faster than the ones if the other AudiA4 drivers.
Now jo.sk has the first word for SE victory, but all other places are open and the fights will be hard. In case of a tie overall time will be decisive.

Raska & robylu dominated the Brooklands_SE Sprint session, as expected. The Swiss pilot was very determined after his bad result in the Regular and so overcame the Italians resistance soon after the start. Tony couldn’t catch up with them but wasn’t threatened by magicj & akouk eihter. These two pilot were fighting for second & third podium seats and although akouk tried really hard to eliminate magicj’s handicap advantage, the German pilot took 4th position just 0,13 ahead of the Greek, which gave him 2nd SE-podium pos due to better overall time. Session’s leader jo.sk was held back by his severe weight handicap, but won the Event non the less thanks to his Regular difference. Italian pilot -it performed significantly less than expected and finished 7th, wrapping up the Sprint.

That was the last SE for season 2005, thanks for joining & hope to see you back for some VHCS action!
