MTP's John Maverick sits on pole, clear track ahead of him, as all 5 lights glow....
And they are GO..... Maverick leads, Greenhalgh 2nd, with Jalving and Moinet side by side...
All cars safely having navigated the first set of turns....
The front of the field quite stretched out as they head towards the end of lap 1....
Stoddart engaged in a close fight for positions in the points....
The MTP of John Maverick leads after lap 1, with the top 4 all within close range of each other...
Meanwhile towards the rear of the pack, Chris Copeman has cars galore ahead of him...
Jalving has a run on Moinet ahead of him, as they head down the back straight...
Gilson has a good view of the overtake attempt ahead of him, as both Jalving and Moinet are well to the left on the road....
Jalving got by Moinet, to move into 3rd position...
The top 10 all on the front straight, as race leader Maverick sets out on Lap 3....
The top 8 positions on Lap 3....
Positions 9-16....
And 17-22nd....
Mal Stoddart the meat in a MAC Racing sandwich....
Cremasco, Soutsen and Elleker 3 wide down the back straight towards the tight set of final turns....
Cremasco lost out in that one, as the pack forms behind him....
Chaos at the first turn, as both Tyrants are involved, Scala spins and Ingers tangle in seperate incidents....
A quick replay showed Scala out of control, and further back Majumadar too deep under brakes...
Majumadar and Scala had to let the entire field pass before both recovering....
Smoke billows from the back of the Alpha of Ed Greenhalgh....
Um, er.... pullover - FIRE!!!!! Stop the car, stop the car....
Still smoking away, burning the engine to a charred pile of metal...
And finally off track, after a spectacular exit...
Another occurence of brakes locking up at Turn 1.....
Beggani spins....
Copeman continues, but is off the track...
Newly appointed team boss at Snake Motorsports, Aiden Keranen sits in 12th on the road....
Jalving kicks off the pit stops at the end of Lap 7...
Soutsen is one the many pitting on this lap, with Elleker just ahead in pit lane...
Jalving re-emerges in 14th after his stop....
Race leader in pit lane....
Gilson in for service as well, with the DMR of Sheppard coming into the lane as well....
Pit lane is a hive of activity as teams swing into action....
Pedersen in the MAC lost ground on Sheppard, and now has Beggani ahead of him, who is yet to pit...
Pedersen can see Sheppard way ahead, two cars ahead on the road....
TDC leader Eric Moinet sits in first currently, ahead of making his pit stop...
The top 3 all in pit lane, as the Tyrant of O'Brien also will be heading to pit lane.Maverick sits close behind in 5th, ready to reclaim the race lead....
Nearly all pit stops now complete, as we see the UPS/DOWNS of the Top 10 on track.... Beggani yet to pit...
Cremasco has a good run down the straight and appears ready to attack Elleker....
The MMM boss right up under the AMR's rear wing....
But, as we seem to be seeing a lot of, a cloud of brake dust from a lockup...
Cremasco spins, as Elleker continues....
Cremasco facing the wrong way, with a bunch of cars heading his way, drops him to the rear...
Positions 1-8
9-16....
17-22...
Soutsen has a hot battle around him....
Majumadar once again lets ambition get in the way of talent, with another spin....
DMR's Charrel Jalving sits in 2nd place, with race leader Maverick a distant speck ahead, 3.5 seconds ahead....
The points leader has now lost control, brakes locked up....
Pedersen was involved with Moinet in that incident, and rejoins the track. Moinet can be seen in the background, getting lucky and able to recover straight away...
The top 8 after 13 of 18 laps....
Eric Moinet, after his earlier hiccup, runs in 8th spot....
Positions 9-16 with just a few laps remaining....
And the tail end of the field....
Joseph Gilson in 3rd, with a nice buffer behind him to 4th...
Sheppard in 4th....
But this race has all been about the MTP driver John Maverick, leading all the way other than during pit stops...
Charrel Jalving in the DMR sits in 2nd - surprised that DMR haven't stripped the name off Charrel's car to slap Jalving on there for him... lol
Aiden Keranen leads a train of cars....
2 laps to go for Maverick, as we again see the movers and shakers of the Top 10....
Nathan McGregor still on the hunt to chase down Sheppard for 4th spot, as the DMR driver rounds the turn ahead....
And in the other MAC, it is Pedersen in 6th place....
O'Brien pushing hard to try and snatch that final point off Soutsen as the laps wind down....
Race leader comfortably in front, with 2nd place coming over the crest of hill in the background. Only disaster can take this win off Maverick....
Things getting busy with O'Brien's quest for 12th....
Soutsen goes defensive, whilst ahead, it is Ingers and Keranen in a similar battle...
O'Brien moves to the middle, looking to dive down the inside....
The Tyrant driver locks up the brakes....
And it is O'Brien who spins, Soutsen holds onto 12th...
But in a flawless display, it is John Maverick taking the win in todays Feature Race....
2nd place for Charrel Jalving....
3rd place for Joseph Gilson to complete the podium....

Quite happy with the results for DMR this time out. Good show of pace, after the debacle of last round at Spa.....
**RD note - i found the amount of spins and brake lock ups at this track to be almost on the unacceptable side. Only a few incidents, but.... Will be curious to see how the main race runs. I ran AI errors at 5, after numerous tests of settings, and 5 was about as tolerable as things could get. I would almost say we ban this track for next season, depending how the main race goes.....

Not a good race for Mistral. For some reason I can't take advantage of the feature race this season, always something going wrong.
Let's go to the main race now, hopefully some good results for my boys.

A nice warm up in the testers race. Hopefully we can get a similar result in the full race.

Round 11 - Turkish GP - Istanbul Park
Race day at Istanbul, and it started to rain slightly a couple of minutes ago.
But as we can see on pole setter Steer's car, it's by far not enough to put on intermediates.
The red lights are out, and off they go
Kederer tries around the outside
And makes the move stick
Onboard with Vilela in last, showing us that everyone made it through the first corner
Going into turn 9 Kederer takes the race lead
Soutsen passes O'Neill for 10th
The 2 Mistrals going at it, brilliant opening lap by McClure so far, up to 12th from 19th
Both AMR have lost some places
Jalving looks set to take 4th from Warrington
O'Neill too late on the brakes, and has nowhere to go but the back of Soutsen
They both run wide and lose out to McClure
Jalving made the move stick
Warrington under pressure from Rodríguez
Scala has a go at Pedersen, who himself goes for a move on Greidanus
Scala makes his one stick
Vilela hands the wooden spoon to Keranen
Jalving's on the move again, takes 3rd from McCarthy
Pedersen retakes the position from Scala
Hinz passes his teammate
Vilela tries to slip through as well, but can't quite get it done
Silva ran a bit wide, and has to go defensive on O'Neill
McClure clearly the man of the hour, 9 places gained in 3 laps only
Jalving up to 2nd now
Worseling passes Scala for 17th
Russell now in last, having been passed by Keranen
Warrington just a tad late on the brakes, which is enough for Rodríguez to go past
Scala about to lose another place, as he has to defend against Hinz
Meanwhile Steer dropped to 4th
Gilson round the outside of Mills for 8th
He manages to repass Gilson going in turn 12, but at the same time loses out to McClure, who takes 2 places at once
Greidanus past O'Neill now, in 13th place
McCarthy managed to close the gap to Jalving
Rodríguez closely followed by the Tyrants, he can't seem to shake them off
Just as I said that Warrington goes past the MTP
Kederer still in the lead, but Jalving's closing in
Gilson with another go on Mills, gets the move done
Scala still successfully defending against Hinz
Mills under attack from all sides now
Only O'Neill gets past though, moving up 3 places at once
Soutsen now through as well
Or so he thought, Mills fights back
Tries again in turn 12, and gets it done
Mills going very wide in the process
Losing another place to Greidanus
O'Neill right at the back of Silva
Another position lost for Mills as Pedersen goes past
O'Neill goes for the inside
and takes 10th from Silva
Scala managed to get back past Worseling
Hinz defending hard against teammate Elleker
Kederer's lead is getting smaller each lap, the gap down to a second now
That's Mills off the track in turn 8
Rejoins right in the path of Scala, who has no chance to avoid him
Mills race is over, while Scala has to pit for a new frontwing
Losing plenty of positions in the process
Keranen past Vilela
Or not
Yellow flags out as the Marshalls recover Mills' car
Close duell between Keranen and Russell
There's contact, and Russell spins around
Scala finally reaches the pits
Onboard with Jalving, and that's fake rain on the camera here. I can't see any single drop falling right now (some graphical bug, the drops didn't move and were like this on every onboard)
Warrington set his sight on Steer, having managed to pull away from Rodríguez
Only half a second now between Kederer and Jalving
Greidanus the first one to come in for his regular stop
I was wrong, Warrington's already in
That's the move for the lead, Jalving goes for the inside in turn 9
But Kederer manages to defend the position
Quick decision by the DMR pitwall, they bring Jalving in for the undercut
Pedersen takes 11th from Soutsen
Disaster for Jalving, he has to wait as McClure just goes past him
Kederer and McCarthy on the way in for their stops
More tough luck for Jalving as he got stuck behind Keranen on his outlap
He only just stays ahead of McCarthy
While Kederer managed to stay ahead
Can you believe it, contact between Vilela and Jalving, allowing McCarthy to go past
Gilson currently in the lead, but he is yet to stop
Jalving back past McCarthy
He has Kederer right ahead of him now, who himself seems to be stuck behind another car
That's de Bruyker off the track!
Here's a replay, he was too late on the brakes and hit Rodríguez
Sending the MTP right into Steer.
The Brit goes off and spins, while Rodríguez manages to keep the car on the track
It was Elleker who held up Kederer. The Brit pitting, while Kederer has Jalving right as his back
De Bruyker meanwhile continues in 19th, while Steer is last. A promising race completely ruined.
Warrington in 5th, chased by McClure
Jalving goes for the lead in turn 9
But there's contact!
Jalving's spun
Kederer has gone off, too
He manages to continue in 2nd
While Jalving has dropped all the way back to 12th
McCarthy now leading the race, as we have a look at the standings
Warrington maintaining the gap to McClure
Worseling looks to pass Jalving, but can't make it
Slight lock-up for Jalving in turn 1, no consequences
McCarthy extends his lead ever so slightly
De Bruyker goes past Keranen
Rodríguez right behind Kederer, he too with some fancy fake rain on the camera
He goes for the inside
Gets the move done
O'Neill up to 5th
Worseling has another go at Jalving
Again it doesn't work out
Soutsen has to defend against Pedersen
McClure can no longer go the same pace as before the stop, he let teammate Silva through
Hinz goes around the outside of Worseling, nicely done
McClure back ahead of Silva
McCarthy seems to have it in the bag, Rodríguez can't close in either
Scala defends 17th against de Bruyker
Contact between Pedersen and Soutsen under braking for turn 12
Pedersen spins around, while Soutsen can continue
Pedersen resumes the race in 15th
With all the drama, Hinz has moved up to the points, probably rather unexpected
Rodríguez lost a whole .4s to Kederer the last sector, just a slighty mistakes or are his tyres done?
O'Neill closed the gap to Warrington
Gilson goes past Silva for 7th
Greidanus currently in 10th place
de Bruyker goes past Scala for 17th
5 laps to go for McCarthy
O'Neill right behind Warrington, while the timing shows that Keranen moved past Scala as well
Here we have the confirmation
Steer has spun
It seems there was contact between him and Russell
O'Neill overtakes Warrington for 4th place
Soutsen holding on to 9th
Despite the slight lack of pace after the stops, McClure still the man with most places gained
3 to go for McCarthy
Seems it was just a slight mistake earlier, as Rodríguez is over 3s ahead of Kederer now
Jalving still one of the fastest cars on track, now looking to at least salvage some points
Gilson with the move for 6th
McClure stays alongside
Has the inside for turn 12
And keeps his position
Jalving got past Greidanus to 10th
Gilson tries again, this time he gets it done
Hinz versus Greidanus for 11th
McCarthy starts the final lap of the race
de Bruyker goes past Pedersen
Vilela sticks to the back of the Tyrant and slips through as well
Contact between Greidanus and Hinz under braking for turn 1
Greidanus off the track
And Hinz has spun
Incredibly upsetting for Greidanus, shoved out of the points in the final lap
Hinz too loses out
McCarthy crosses the line, taking his maiden win!
2nd place for Rodríguez
Kederer completes the podium in 3rd
Silva took 7th from his teammate on the final meters
Elleker too with a position gained, past Worseling to 11th
Congratulations to Gareth McCarthy on his first career win! The third one for MAC Racing this season, a new record for them, and the most of any team so far this year.

I ran it with the 40 I originally put, imo not considerably more incidents than on many other tracks. You could say the same about Melbourne, Boromo, Kyalami, Österreichring etc., just to name a few. If you dropped a track each time I ranted about one, we'd be out of tracks by now.

I ran it with the 40 I originally put, imo not considerably more incidents than on many other tracks. You could say the same about Melbourne, Boromo, Kyalami, Österreichring etc., just to name a few. If you dropped a track each time I ranted about one, we'd be out of tracks by now.

Good failure free race for me finishing behind Toby in 4th place. Congrats to Toby for getting on the podium.

I am usually ok with racing incidents occuring, with genuine mishaps occuring. That is real life too! But i do have a bit of a concern when the racing incidents are clearly sparked by something in the track of the CC' line, or something that is probably fixable. I am a fan of the layout, and it did produce good racing, but kind of spoilt by clumsy AI behaviour..... No track is perfect, this one probably just needs a bit of a fix to be 90% tolerable.

Pretty poor qualifying from me on both occasions, made up for it a bit with overtakes in the tester race but got saved by other people's mistakes in the main event, not my greatest race weekend at all
Speaking of poor AI behaviour......
Charrel got robbed of the chance to take a much needed and well deserved win at Istanbul Park today! Had the pace, had the speed, and had the package to bring home the win. But, the racing gods were not on his side today.....
As for Rodrigo, starting dead last was never going to be too conducive to a good result. We as a team need to get Rodrigo's spirits lifted, and him qualifying better....
On to Monza we go.....

Not the best weekend for us despite Warrington bringing home a points finish with 5th.
Well, should have stayed in 12th there
