World Grand Prix - Race of Monaco - Monte - CarloWell not as much delay this time
Just 1 day behind
The conditions from yesterday have gone through and it's all wet here today on raceday in Monaco!! Hopefully this will spice the race up a bit
Well enough talks, let's begin
Ladies & Gentlemen!! START YOUR ENGINES!!
It's Bruno Castello on pole, with already all the lamps on he is on sharp! He'll try to defend P1 through the first corner
When rushing to the first corner he is on the wrong side there .. Byron is already next to him!
And there it's happend! Byron takes P1 while Koen Wijns in the back follows him in P2, Castello dropped back to P3!
Nick van der Voort seems to have won a couple of spot coming from P17
Robert Mews is holding up his teammate, James Woolhead and Mikey McClain as it seems ...
One lap done, the field looks like this now - Scolari driver Byron van het Bolscher is the leader!
Matt Houston steadily drives on P9 being chased by Senna BR driver Kurtis Turnbull
Meanwhile Byron has build a respectable gap towards Koen Wijns!!
Gergo Panker is in P16, being chased by Paolo Capriosa in the FAR and Diego Noriega in the DFR
Mews has let a big gap fallen in between himself and Diego Noriega, teammate Gareth Spencer is still pushing to go passed him!
Turnbull is a litle bit too enthousiastic here ..
Matt Houston desperatly trying to keep his car straight after the little touche from Turnbull ...
He can't hold back Turnbull from taking the position though!
That's weird .. Prins coming out of the corner with a pretty slow speed ...
There he sees Marjanne de Jager for Scolari passing by ... will this be end of the race for Guido Prins?
Well at least he managed to get back into the pits ...
And there he is out again! P22 now but he is the only one to have stopped so far; ALSO VDV Racing was smart enough to get the car of Guido refueled
Nick van der Voort doesn't like this .. but he isn't the one in trouble here
It's Gergo Panker and his mistake which also made him cut the chicane
He lost the position to Capriosa but he scares the hell out of Diego! Diego almost crashed because Panker suddenly drove again! Dangerous move by the Hungarian ..
It's Marjanne de Jager (SCO) then to open the first real pitstop here today
While Nick van der Voort (TSS) is almost done with his pitstop, the Scolari drives away already again
Byron van het Bolscher then is still driving in P1, no threats to him so far .. no mistakes from him neither!
Marjanne de Jager threw he car right in front of Woolhead who had to hit the brakes!
One lap later it's the turn of Dutchy, Maikel de Boer (DFR) and Team Shadow Subaru driver Iván Cantero to hit the pits
Turnbull passing Brazier at the begin of the tunnel? That's odd .. we only saw that before with the slow driving Guido Prins!
Oh no! Brazier misses speed aswell .. Houston already passing by nearing the chicane
Well it's race-over for Kyran here, he pulls it off (not at a very great spot ..
)
Kelly Vermeulen pits for Italian Thunder, hope her first stop goes right! Together with her Dan Mills (SRS), Paolo Capriosa (FAR), Robert Mews (FLC) and James Woolhead (VK1) pit on the same lap
Current race and championship leader Byron van het Bolscher (SCO) comes in from P1 one lap after Kelly
He is directly followed by second place driver Koen Wijns (ITA)
Bruno Castello doesn't await either! He comes in aswell from P3 for Movistar Viper K1; Followed by Roberto Yermo (FAR), Kurtis Turnbull (SBR), Matt Houston (VDV), Gergo Panker (GPR), Diego Noriega (DFR), Gareth Spencer (FLC) and Mikey McClain (SRS) - They all seem to be on the same strategy!
Well another easy race for Byron it seems, he doesn't even lost his first place
Gareth Spencer finally managed to pass by his teammate using the pitstops!!
Guilherme Cramer (SBR) is the last to visit the pits then, at least no hold-ups in the pits from him

Diego Noriega faces one of his worst races ... P17 AND getting chased by the Falcon Racing driver Gareth Spencer
Woolhead has replaced Spencer and is now the one stuck behind Robert Mews .. Mikey McClain still to follow!
Iván Cantero then putting out the fastest lap
Guido Prins finds himself at 13th, he has been really lucky today to kept driving!
Gareth Spencer slipstreaming behind Diego Noriega throughout the tunnel ...
Oh no! It's just TOO clear this distance is too much to try an overtake ..
Diego Noriega becomes the victim here when he spins around and sees Spencer pass ...
Gareth Spencer leaving a big gap behind him towards Diego ..
Noriega was just in time facing the right way when the small train from Mews came ... P18 isn't something to like very much though as reigning champion
Kelly Vermeulen non-the-less is doing very good! P5 at this moment chasing the DFR car from Maikel de Boer, she lost the position to him during the pitstops!
Ouch! Gareth Spencer is pushing it too hard!
Well he has no other choice then visit the pits now ... he must watch out the nose-part doesn't come stuck under the wheel!
Diego Noriega probarly just laughs and retakes his old position!!
Robert Mews running wide when coming near his teammate and under pressure from James Woolhead
Mikey McClain tries to take adventage of the situation though!
There he goes ... finally free?
Yes! He takes on James Woolhead, shame for him he will be stuck behind Robert Mews now ...
Pitstop from Gareth Spencer for a new nose ...
Bruno Castello chasing Koen Wijns, I don't guess he would try an overtake though when driving 3rd!
Byron van het Bolscher just takes it easy now, P1 from him and just 1 lap to go .. what can go wrong now? Well it is Monaco ...
But the race being Monaco doesn't scare Byron off! He takes the chequered flag here today and it's his 2nd win in a row!
Koen Wijns finishing in a nice 2nd place for the Italian Thunder team!
Bruno Castello then to finish on the podium today, he already declared earlier that this was his aim!
Also his 2nd podium this season
Well another 'easy' win for Byron, no threats, no mistakes - that seems to be the winning formula! His 3rd win of the season and 3 out of 6
Gareth Spencer then with new tyres to set a new fastest lap!
It doesn't help anymore as he already had been lapped after his 2nd stop ..
What is this? Mikey McClain leaves the track for the pits for the last corner?
OMG!?! Mikey McClain giving it away ... Later we would find out he suffered electronical problems and just pulled his car off to the pits ...
Well the championship has changed again of course! Here it's updated after race 6
