Hello all and Welcome today to the race here at the A1 Ring in Austria. Yesterday we saw a topsy turvy qualifying with the current top three in the championship qualifying way down the field. This paved the way for a new pole sitter and delight for Zakes after qualifying last and rumours of pressure he managed to put it on pole followed be De Boer in the new car. Let’s head down to the grid for the action.



A long way to go for Razak



That is a horrible start by De Boer



Yoshimoto has come from 12th straight into 7th



Antunis has got round the outside of Zakes into the first corner



He has the lead



Yoshimoto is already defending his position to Jantsher



Carreiro making a move up the inside of Vukcevic



Vukcevic is not going to give it up that easy and retakes the position at the end of the straight



Oakley managed to get by Jantsher as he fell back from Yoshimoto and sees Ward come through as well



Onboard with Urazel we see Xanthis has made a move on Tafuro



Current standings after one lap, Allthough you can see De Boer intends to change that



And succeeds



Hunsley immediately has to take a defensive line against Vukcevic



Later in the lap though Vukcevic makes his move




Commited by both men but this leaves Hunsley vulnerable into the home straight



Dropping like a stone he is now 9th



Stein has outbraked himself but I do not have to tell Paddock he felt it




Leaves the door open for Xanthis



This cost them both their place to Xanthis, Predator esque by the Greek



McGregor is gaining places thats Ward out the way for the Aussie



Maybe he has great instincts but not great defence Xanthis has already lost the places gained



Razak comes from a bit deep and makes his way up the inside



This puts Copeman into last place



McGregor is making ground on Hunsley



Ward has gone wide and this seems him all the way down to 18th



While this was happening McGregor has made his move on Hunsley, he just cannot stop going backwards



Vanthoor is going for it and succeeds as well




Mirko runs wide yet manages to hang on




Looks like everyone wants a go today



None succeeded though



After 6 laps the standings





Zakes is finally starting to close the gap on Antunis



First retirement today and it is Oakley and still no points this year for England



Vanthoor has slid off the race circuit



And rejoins in last



Xanthis is very defensive with Maverick



It pushes Maverick and in turn he closes the door on Paddock



Vukcevic has tried a move on Yoshimoto but completely overshot the corner



It is lucky they did not collide




Just because Vukcevic is no longer there does not mean the pressure relents for Yoshimoto. Jantsher is on his tail



Copeman has gone off, was he ignoring the yellow flags?



They will not fix that



Vukcevic rejoins last



Jantsher gets by on the inside of Yoshimoto



Our only other non point scorer this season retires



McGregor is trying to attack Yoshimoto and keep close to Jantsher



Xanthis must have made a mistake since he is way back with Vanthoor and Vukcevic



Antunis showing a defensive line,



Pulls back giving Zakes space and he capitalises. New race leader






Time for a break

Hunsley has spun out, it just does not get any better for South Africa



No room there De Boer



Zakes is pulling away from Antunis who is holding up De Boer badly



Not again! You got to feel for Australia as they add yet another retirement from a point scoring position



Hunsley runs wide



A bit more simple for De Boer than Zakes but he is by Antunis into turn 1




Maverick is running well and in the points which is great considering quail



The gap is a bit too much to turnover in the pitstops for De Boer



Tafuro and Vanthoor going on safari




Zakes our leader is the first man to pit



De Boer immediately in after



Antunis takes back the lead for now



Zakes and De Boer out in 4th and 5th place respectively




Oh that will not help Antunis’ fight to regain first



Carreiro is our new current leader



Antunis defending against Yoshimoto



Time for his stop and Yoshimotos! Can he get by him in the pits?




Zakes and De Boer are through



Antunis manages to keep his place in the pits



Carreiro to pit now and loose the lead



Zakes regains the lead



De Boer in second again



Ward is the last man to pit and he has nicked Mavericks place from him



Standings after the first stops



Antunis has found himself way down the field he must have spun off



He must have heard we missed it because there is a repeat performance



Vukcevic has latched onto the back of Paddock and is working his way up the field



Ward is also looking to capitalise on his good stop



Vukcevic bullies his way through



As does Ward



Ooooo Tafuro bumps Razak



Jantsher has managed to get Carreiro in his sights for the last podium place



Just like that Carreiro runs wide and Jantsher makes his way by in the very next corner!





Horvath goes wide



Maverick has the run




Horvath refuses to give up he was not going to give that up easy



Next lap and Maverick looking but Horvath made it very clear he is not giving the place up




And here are the standings as we pass the half way mark



Tafuro has found a way round rather that into Razak



Stein is all over the back of Maverick



And manages to pass on the inside



Zakes again the first pitter for the second stints



He rejoins in 5th



Horvath pits from 7th and will hope to keep ahead of the storming Stein



Eyes are on De Boer



Zakes is only coming round the last corner



That is a lightening stop by De Boer and he takes the virtual lead



Stein pits



And does indeed come out 13th one place ahead of Horvath



Carreiro pits from 2nd



Vanthoor has spun off, nightmare day for Vanthoor



Time for another break!

Carreiro comes out 6th for now and will be looking to retake his place from Jantsher



Urazel pits right behind Maverick but cannot get past him



Stein has come through as Maverick leaves



Maverick comes out just behind Horvath



Jantsher holds onto 3rd after his stop



Stein is a big winner from the pit stops he even steals the position from Yoshimoto



Here are the standings after the pits



So now Maverick is on the outside of the points situation



Not anymore Ward had binned his car from 5th



Maverick now has the last points place!



Urazel has run on into the wall and is out



Yoshimoto trying to bring back Stein



The gap is hovering though



Same for Maverick and Horvath



Tafuro has a points place in his plans which is great considering his qualifying



Oh no De Boer with the mistake which means he is slow down the home straight. Zakes takes back the lead




Horvath out brakes himself and Maverick is through




De Boer is on top of Zakes



Vukcevic trying to get past Paddock



Stein ruins the great work of his pit crew and retires from 5th



This puts Tafuro in the points



He is looking for a way around Horvath who is defending aggressively





He has managed to make a move stick




Only a few seconds back to Maverick



Zakes has slight breathing room



Tafuro has spun off and ruined what was a solid race



Standings with just 7 laps to go



Horvath has spun somewhere round the circuit he is out the points



This moves Paddock and Vukcevic into 7th and 8th respectively



Make that 8th and 7th respectively




Horvath has run wide again and left himself no chance of points



Vukcevic and Paddock are so close to Maverick in 6th



Yoshimoto bumps off the wall and gets away with it




There it is Congratulations to Zakes for winning the Austrian GP and giving the Madagascan team boss something to smile about



De Boer a very solid second but he will be wondering what might have been



Jantsher takes the last podium place



Maverick just, just holds onto 6th which should see him as the new championship leader



Here are your final standings

Hi guys i am delighted about the way the result turned out. Finally got a result :P

However i want to make this post to apoligise. I have not committed myself as fully as i could and sure i could give you the excuses why i been that way but ultimately it is because i have not done enough. I am not quitting the Nations Cup but i am making this genuine honest pledge that i am not going to f*** around anymore because you guys want an entertaining series and i intend to give it you. Anyone who wants the mod is more than welcome to pm for the link. There are still a couple of bugs but i intend to get those fixed in the next couple of weeks. Again i apoligise fully and i thank you guys for a lot of faith.

On the buisness end i was thinking that since i have three inactive drivers i will give one of those seats to John on the waiting list and my idea was to give him an average of the points left from everyone believed to be active. I wanna hear your ideas and then i will pm John and give him the seat

Ah well you would like the result, fix!
From what I could tell, we got points which is always good, but we could have got more and if Vukcevic had been a little more sensible maybe so.

On the other note, i dont think you need to apologise icky, we all realise that life and other stuff takes importance over stuff, and rather a full performance than a half hearted attempt . Your commentaries are good, and it just happened that you were busy at the same time I was away, coincidences happen. That's my thoughts on the matter anyway

Wow! 4th place is good. Maybe a podium in the next races? Icky, for me you don't need to appologise.

Can you, please, post the champioship standings?

About the extra performance points, it's up to you...

-----------------------------------------------------

DAMN DAMN DAMN! I blew it! I was in the lead

That's not really good, but we keep on saving points and we'll be back. Vanthoor makes poor mistakes though...

Can you please check the value of the reliability for slot 8 because this is getting f***ing ridicules. I should be leading this championship.

Firstly, Ben, this is a great coverage. Well done job.

And I totally agree with Maikkel, you definitely don't have to apologize. You're running this series mostly alone and that is a hell of a job. I would really like to help you with this, but right now I don't have the time to do such an amazing coverage. But please, don't apologize for doing a great job!

Thanks for the kind words guys!

@Macca i checked it before and again after every race because i get paranoid of some of the stuff i see during the race. Is there anywhere else you can check it beyond the perf file?Also in the magic data i turn down all the errors so they are around the 100 mark and i tone the car wear down too but i keep that a bit higher.

I totally cheated it was the only way i was posting this race

It was horrible to watch because i was taking screenies of De Boer all over my car

nice race,bad result
