4th place in Bathurst! Race 4 SimGear GT Masters

Free Practice
Due to technical problems, I had great difficulty in Saturday’s practice (FP1) and therefore had little track time. Fortunately, everything went well in the second free practice session on Sunday (FP2) and I was able to perform well. I finished sixth in practice.

Qualifying
Qualifying was very eventful, but good for me.
Unfortunately, I had to abort my first hot lap because my teammate Dylan Stebler, who was driving ahead of me, lost control of his car and crashed into the wall. The next lap was also ruined for me when a slow car blocked me on the ideal line.

However, the third and final attempt went pretty well for me. With my teammate Kamto Chukwureh giving me slipstream, I was able to position myself in 4th place.

Race
The start of the race went pretty well for me. I was able to hold on to fourth place, but soon got into a battle with the driver in fifth. This allowed the drivers in sixth and seventh to catch up, and we soon found ourselves in a close and intense battle.

The race in general was very chaotic, with many cars veering off the track and crashing into the wall. Unfortunately, my teammate Dylan Stebler was not spared either, as he was involved in an accident and had to end the race early.

After the first pit stop, I found myself in eighth place, as I had a slightly longer stop than the others.

However, I managed the second pit stop much better and was able to finish in fourth place thanks to some tough but fair battles and a superb strategic pit stop.

Dylan’s DNF means we lose a few points in the team standings, but we are still in third place.
