World Grand Prix - Race of SilverstoneOnce again a rainy race! from the wet Piranema race we go here in England to a wet Silverstone race! Seemed like the forecast was right. Well the cars stand ready, formation lap has been done - let's start the grand prix! Ladies and Gentleman, start your ENGINES!!
Cars are all lined up, 2 lights are on, we are ready to race people! De Boer and Cramer sharing the first row
Maikel de Boer keeps te lead when going through copse corner
Noriega directly on to Houston!
Then it's Ivan Cantero starting some sort of mess!
He gently pushes Hampson...
Looks like he will spin!
But he just went wide and when coming back on track he just misses Yermo by inches!! Lucky no-one got any damage from this corner
Standings After Lap One
Then it's Cramer showing up in Maikel's mirrors, as both engines are limited they should run the same but Gui got the advantage of Slipstream!!
And he does it! Gui takes the lead! [Dunno or we should be happy about that tho]
Matt Houston is the first to make a mistake, he runs wide in Copse corner what will result in losing 2 places
Paolo Capriosa forced to run wide seeing some cars passing by!
Then Ben Parker making a stupid mistake while getting back on his line.... he goes through the grass what will result in of course...
...Spinning around in the gravel! He will rejoin back at the field
Then Briére tries to be 1 with Noriega's gearbox
But he decides it's more fun getting past it, Briére to P3!
Roberto Yermo then losing his car on the shiny, wet surface called the track
He surely stands the wrong way now, but also he will rejoin and continue his race
And there is the next, 2nd Viper K1 now too losing his car in a spin, Viper K1 surely need to check the settings in the rain...
And he and the Rico Racing's are damn lucky not to hit each other!!
He will rejoin the group and continue to drive around
But not only the backmarkers are getting off track, there is Houston going off throwing away a nice race!
He sees at least 4 cars get passed!!
Capriosa making a mistake... he will lose his place to Prins due the low speed because he needed to lift
De Boer maybe got passed by Gui because he was scared of Cramer's face... but he keep pushing at the Senna BR driver to look or he can get P1 back!
Ricardo van Smirren then found on track making circles, and not the right ones! Also he is lucky not to get hit....
Paolo Capriosa once again lost against the road, Paolo can't handle the slippy surface today!
He is officially last now!
Jo Pellatt doesn´t not want to be an outsider to the spinners and decides to toss her car around in Stowe!
She doesn´t hit anything and will rejoin her race
Then something shocking! Gui´s making a mistake while leading!
But as he keeps the control over the car he won´t lose more positions then the one to Maikel, who is now once again leading the race
Other then that Briére found the speed to get back on the rear of his teammate´s car, Gui needs to defend now else he will still lose that 2nd place
There is Postma going off! Just when he is driving solid he makes a mistake!
He scraped the wall but managed to keep the car in 1 piece, even though that ment he needed to spin his car around
He is continueing his way being 20st!
James Woolhead is driving a good race for his team under the new managment of Paul Willins, he is looking here to overtake Guido Prins
Cantero is trying to get that place from Jo Pellatt...
And does is amazingly going around the outside!! that Subaru engine isn´t that bad after all!!
Guilherme Cramer proves here he wanted that win, because he is the first to come in
De Boer directly goes 1 lap later though
He rejoins ahead of Gui, as he has a massive gap since Cramer's mistake
Then there is the surprise!! Briére rejoined in
front of Cramer!!
Noriega enjoyed a short lead but comes in now too, looking at the first stops DFR seems to got the race in hands...
...this directly got proven as Diego pulls out the pitlane ahead of Briére! DFR in 1-2 now
But Briére sees his chance to take action at Diego! Diego probarly couldn't defend because his cold tyres, anyhow it's De Boer in 1 now, Briére 2nd, Noriega 3rd and Cramer 4th, surely a dominant race by DFR & Senna BR
There is then the first DNF, it's Ricardo van Smirren - Later we got through it was a suspension failure... maybe it got anything to do with the spin earlier??
Again shocking news as we see the second Senna BR making a path in the gravel
He rejoins quickly but lost places to Noriega and Cramer
Then again Postma is going off! He must be pretty much swearing now in that car making such a good chance on a good race falling to pieces
Cramer won't take P3 for something that's good enough today... So far he hasn't got any luck overtaking Noriega though
It's now Ashby who is very fast on the track, seems like he got super fuel in the pits, he is now looking to overtake Prins
And oh no for DFR, Diego running wide giving that 1-2 away, Gui takes P2 with no regrets
This aint no lucky race for Real Madrid Yermo, It's Yermo himself going off in the lines of Briére
And also he rejoins quickly without any damage
De Boer coming in after a relative short stint
He comes back on track in 3rd, but all his stops are done now!
And it isn't true... once again a RMY off track, Capriosa again this time
Will this ever come good? or will Capriosa be having spinningphobia next race??
Guilherme Cramer and Diego Noriega coming in together this lap
But Noriega already sees Cramer leave when he isn't done yet
Guilherme now in 2nd, which mean de Boer got the lead back
Diego just solid rejoins in 3rd behind de Boer and Cramer
And there is Ashby going off!
He spins but will rejoin soon again behind his teammate...
And then it's bullseye... Briére spins in the first sector...
He quickly turns around his car and will rejoin somewhere around P6
And it's unbeliveable but once again a RMY going off track, Yermo again this time
He spun but will once again rejoin without any damage, only maybe some big flatt spots on the tyres!
Postma going off track for the 3rd time, but he holds it and barely loses time
Jo Pellatt must have enjoyed spinning earlier as she does it again on the same place, same way
There is the chequered flag for De Boer, even with an engine failure now he will win just by simply rolling over the finish line!
And yes there it is, De Boer takes his 4th win out of 6 races since returning in the WGP!! (someone check him on dope please)
Guilherme Cramer just must be happy with 2nd, as he is no more this season
Diego is one step closer by his title as he solid finishes in 3rd
WHOAH! what happens here... It's Gergo Panker who needed to brake very hard for Roberto Yermo!!
Looks like he is losing it while he let's his rear almost being the front!
But he takes back control, calms down his heartbeats again and drives slowly back to the pit
And so there comes an end at a spectaculair race!!
