GPGSL S14 - R14 British GP - Silverstone
Posted by GPGSL
Welcome to the final round of the GPGSL's 14th season. Three drivers still have the chance to win the championship. They are buried deep in the rest of the fild so whoever is able to force his way throgh the field in the fastest way will succeed today.
The weather looks fine, noting to worry about here
Greidanus awaiting the green lights
And we are go!
Rodriguez makes a move for the lead
And succeeds
Gaps are already opening up, Karda and Kederer fight for 5th
de Bruyker without any significant gains
Same goes for Pedersen
Kederer up to 5th
Parachki attacking O'Neill
de Bruyker up into 14th
McClure sitting in 7th with minor chances to win the title
Hinz losing it
And he nearly wipes out Pedersen!
He rejoins in 22nd
Meanwhile Kederer and Karda are still up close and personal
With the better end for Karda for the moment
Pedersen is trying to make his way into the points positions. He is struggling however and does not take too many risks.
de Bruyker watching Pedersen
So far the midfield is still tightly packed
One singular point for Pedersen at the moment
de Bruyker is trying to follow Pedersen
Greidanus is closing in on Rodriguez
Elleker sitting in 16th
McClure tries to make a move on Kederer. He needs to win
Kederer cuts him off and McClure goes off line
He smashes into the wall, race over for him. One contender is out.
Crucially, de Bruyker has passed Pedersen. de Bruyker just seems more determined today
Meanwhile Greidanus wants this win
The Christels seek some action, too.
Greidanus makes a move for the lead
He goes through
The Elleker train on the move
Kederer got past Karda
de Bruyker and Pedersen in 11th and 12th. If it stays like this, Pedersen will be champ
de Bruyker knows he has to do more
Pedersen is getting under pressure from Vilela
Parachki leading O'Neill
And Kederer is now in front of Karda again
Oh no, drama for O'Neill, his engine calls it a day
Due to O'Neill's mishap the midfield gets bunched up
Rodriguez is the first to stop
Pedersen is attacked by Majumdar, who goes through
So the first half of the race sees one title contender out with the other two fighting it out in the midfield. At the moment it would be enough for Pedersen, however Tyrant might be on to some tactical games with Majumdar here. Stay tuned for the second part, this isn't over yet.

Both drivers doing well so far.
And that's game over for me. What a shame for my final GPGSL race ended with a mistake, truly a bad ending...

On the podium as of now. But the competition is fighting hard, so it would be hard to keep P3
Bad race for me. On the 13th lap my engine gave up. No points for me or the team. Keep fighting Toby and try to get on the podium. Good luck for the rest of the race.

Welcome back to the second and final part of the British GP
Race leader Greidanus pits
Hinz has made up lost ground at the end of the field
Kederer tries the overcut and stays out longer
Greidanus rejoins in 7th
de Bruyker also opts for a long first stint
The MMMs enjoy some quality time together
Kederer tries to maximise his time in clean air, Karda following him
Rodriguez is on the way forward after his stop
Pedersen has stopped already and has to deal with traffic
de Bruyker pits, a good stop will be crucial for him
Greidanus back in a comfortable lead
Kederer somehow lost ground to Karda, positions are switched. Maybe the overcut wasn't the way to go
Not for long, though
de Bruyker in 9th, this is not enough for him with Pedersen in 12th
Who is still caught up in the midfield
Followed by an aggressive Majumdar
Russel is slowing down and emits puffs of smoke. That doesn't look healthy
Oh no, that's a massive crash. Bouchard smashes into Russels already broken car
Hinz runs over debris and loses his front wing
I think we need a stafety car. Also: what is Russel doing with his steering wheel?
Out goes Bouchard
Pedersen attacks McCarthy, sees the yellow flags and backs out of it
The race leader is completely unphazed by the carnage in the back of the field
As is de Bruyker, now up in 8th
Pedersen knows he needs to do more to be save here and tries to get 10th from McCarthy
For the moment with success
Rodriguez controlling the gap to Parachki behind him. A strong race for both of them
Kederer finally got the better of Karda
While Pedersen is still struggling. He needs to up his game
Elleker sits in a lonely 14th
Somehow Gilson took advantage of the Pedersen-McCarthy struggles and is up into 10th
And even more drama for Pedersen. The info graphics show 8 positions gained for de Bruyker. With the additional point both remaining title contenders would be on the same points total.
Time to grab the rulebook
Gustavo with a last hurrah up into 14th
de Bruyker in a safe 8th place
A similar situation for Pedersen in 11th
Meanwhile Greidanus heads into the last lap with the option of a friendly punt from teh lapped AMR behind him
Greidanus wins the British GP, superb performance by him
Rodriguez in 2nd
Parachki finishes 3rd
Kederer 4th
Karda in a solid 5th
Scala in 6th making it a double points finish for MTP
Sakata comes home in 7th
de Bruyker in 8th, it's not yet clear whether he will love it or not
Vilela finishes 9th after a strong drive
Gilson rounds up the top 10
Pedersen with 2 points in 11th
Majumdar grabs the final point in 12th
But what does this mean for the championship? By my (unofficial) calculations Pedersen gets 2 points added to arrive at a total of 105.
de Bruyker gets 5 points for 8th and one for most places gained (8) while being one place ahead of Vilela with also 8 places gained.
So he also arrives at 105 points in total. Looking at the previous results this season both Pedersen and de Bruyker won 3 races.
However, de Bruyker has a 2nd place finish in South Africa while Pedersen's second best finish are 3 3rd places.
So I think, and whe have to wait for an official confirmation, that de Bruyker is the new champ thanks to a second place finish on countback.
That has to be the closest decision ever. In any case, congratulations to both de Buyker and Pedersen for a great season! Probably a bitter-sweet
ending for MAC, as they won the race in great fashion but appear to have lost out on the drivers title by the smallest of margins.

PODIUUUUUUUUUUM! What a race for the team. A much needed result. Joseph did a great job as well. Silverstone is a track to love.
What a finish to perhaps the closest fought season in the history of the GPGSL. We are extremely pleased with De Bruyker's drive here today to secure his second drivers crown, and also with Majumdar who did all he could to try and get us the necessary points we needed to try and take the constructors crown. Congratulations to MAC Racing on taking home the constructors crown. Look after it well as we will be looking to reclaim it next season.
Wow, what an amazing race for the team! And interesting rules about tie in driver's championship. 
Kimi forever!
Kimi forever!
Did I snatch the championship title?
Really?
I knew I had to stay in front and finish before Pedersen, bud I did not know that 8th place was enough... well well well, the last race of this season was a great race afterall !
This was close, very very close... thanks Michael, I enjoyed it very much, lets fight back for the crown next season!
...and thanks to all the guys who made this season possible after all the problems and... covid-19.
Stay safe and healthy my friends and up to Season 15, so we can start our engines again and fight for the titel.
