Another weekend for MSR League, another domination for Dzariq. Seems like he will be an all star champion for MSR League this season or will there be another formidable foe that will stop him in his tracks before he seriously conquers everything?
maranello55 summarize a great post on what had happened on last weekend @ Fuji Speedway, enjoy your meal.
Dzariq is on his customary pole position. Maranello close in 2nd. Penzman is 3rd on the grid. Evohahn completes the grid in the last slot. 18 racers and all set for an explosive Round 3 Fuji GP. At the start, Penzman spun, Azrink jumped maranello, Cyborg did the borg start from 17th to 7th place. There were fierce scraps for positions up and down the grid in the opening laps where cars were off the tracks, involved in brutal contacts, cars spinnings but this time there are no Safety Cars to guard the 1 stoppers. The gaps between the leaders Dzariq, maranello and the rest of the pack made it obvious that they are on a different strategy planet.
Maranello managed to stick with Dzariq all along the first stint, into around minute 20 both pitted at the same time and maranello overtook dzariq for the lead. Both managed to pull enough gap to keep their track position after pitting, from the attack of the 1 stoppers. Few laps later it was apparent that most of the pack opted for 2 stop strategy after they jam packed the pitlane for they schedule stops. The captain of the Veteran Racing Team popped up to 3rd on lap 13 after a long chase with Bonn2020 and looked strong. He stayed on track when everyone were pitting which made him a highly potential 1 stopper.
The order halfway was Maranello, Dzariq and VRT_Madnor. Penzman made a shocking stop with engine failure on lap 26 after climbing all the way up from that spin at the start to 6th position.
Evohahn was already 7th at this time around after starting at the tail end of the grid. He jumped Bonn2020 for 6th when the latter made a pitstop. He later jumped to 5th when VRT_Madnor had a heart-breaking fatal crash (rfactor crashed). Jacky was a consistent runner stayed patient climbing from 5th, 4th and now on target for 3rd after that VRT_Madnor's exit.
At the back, Hisham79 pulls an impressive overtake on Kimi at turn 1 on lap 37 to secure his 7th position. Azrink clawed up 2 places to 9th after overtaking VRT_Izznatta and then punished Harishillan for his mistake on turn 2. VRT_Izznatta caught Harishillan together in a spin at turn 1 but managed to pull away first and secure 10th place.
At the front, maranello is looking all set to end Dzariq winning streak after maintaining the lead even after the 2nd pit stop. It came ever closer when Dzariq plunges into the back of Alan and lost his front wing and damaging badly his suspension. All looking good for maranello now but at almost the same time, he slowed down tremendously of what looked like an engine failure. Dzariq then limped to overtake maranello for the lead and start the final lap! With front wing gone, he was everywhere but maranello cant seem to go faster in his car to take advantage. Dzariq pulled it all together and crossed the finish line for his 3rd win in a row and followed by maranello 35 seconds later.
Evohahn was eating seconds away per lap, closing into 3rd place Jacky after VRT_Madnor DNF. But Jacky held his head high to keep 3rd but heroic Evohahn (on shifter knobs all the way) pulled down the gap from 10sec to less than a second at the finishing line!
Dzariq collected 2 points for Pole position and fastest lap. He is looking formidable this season. Can anyone outpace him and break his dominating run?
Next stop is the notorious street circuit of Surfer's Paradise.
