Formula Race #4 at South City
youliftyoulose, Tuesday, November 19 2013 - 07:30:14 // comment: 1

Race #4 of the 5th season in the Formula Racing series took place at South City Long in the reverse direction. The FOX was the car designated for this race. Although all the drivers had to use only R1 tires for the race most were planning to go the distance without stopping. .A smaller field of 19 cars took to the track to set a qualifying time. Mazdarati took the pole with a 133.27. Antti and Dalda both broke into the 33’s and were threatening to give Mazdarati a run for his money.


Antti and Dalda take advantage of a rare mistake by Mazdarati on T1 on the opening lap.


Jamo ending his race with all 4 wheels in the air.


Daniel colliding with toberkel costing both drivers a good finish!


Antti looks over at the checkered flag as he crossed the finish line for the victory.
As the race got underway, the cars raced to the first turn hoping to get through without contact. This was not to be as Mostafa appeared to get too close to LRK-racer and spun his car even before he got to the first turn. The resulting spin caught up Kelle causing both drivers to restart from the pits.

At the front end Mazdarati did not keep his P1 position for long as he drove his car too deep into T1 allowing Antti and Dalda to slip by on the inside. Mazdarati could be heard complaining to his pit crew about his car’s lack of brakes. The rest of the field made it through the first turn unscathed.

Amazingly as the cars came through T1 for the second time Mazdarati once again overshot the corner allowing Bandes a free pass into P4.

ERR teammates Jamo and Xnyle found there cars in close proximity again running 7th and 8th with Daniel right on their gearbox. By lap 4 Xnyle was questioning whether Jamo had the better pace. Team orders came through and a couple of corners later Xnyle let Jamo by hoping he could make some inroads on the front 6.

Mazdaraiti took advantage of a Bandes wobble as they came out the final turn at the end of lap 6. The small mistake allowed Mazdarati to get a run on Bandes and made the pass for P3 down the main straight. Bandes found back in T1 hoping Mazdarati would repeat his earlier T1 braking errors but such was not the case.

A couple of positions back in P5 LRK-racer was starting to burn up his front tires. At the end of lap 7 toberkel had made his way by and Jamo and Xnyle were threatening to do the same. Sure enough on lap 8 Jamo, Xnyle and Daniel all moved by the struggling LRK-racer whose front tires were on fire. One lap later he decided to retire.

As the race approached 1/3 distance the front cars had divided into 3 distinct groups. Antti and Dalda were well out in front with Mazdarati and Bandes forming a pairing about 5 seconds back. Then came a group of 5 with toberkel leading the ERR boys followed closely by Daniel and Lambat.

The race remained static other than ERR teammates swapping positions again on lap 13. Jamo seemed to be having some difficulty as Daniel split the two teammates a few corners later. A few laps later he gave up another spot as Lambat made good a pass on lap 19. Jamo’s troubles finally came to an end on lap 24 as he hit the guardrail and put all 4 wheels in the air.

Things were going better for the other ERR driver as Xnyle drafted by toberkel on lap 26 and moved into P5. His celebration quickly vanished as his right front tire gave up only a couple of corners later forcing an unscheduled pit stop dropping him out of contention.

The last ten laps would have been quite tame even though the front three of Antti, Dalda and Mazdarat were within sight of each other and all pushing hard. The disaster came a couple of positions back as Daniel made a good draft down the straight on toberkel on lap 34. While both drivers gave each other room and Daniel seemed to have the pass made he miscalculated how close he was to the left barrier and hit the wall hard. Unfortunately as Daniel careened across the track he left toberkel with no place to go and collected the Chocomel car taking both of them into the wall. By the time both drivers recovered P5 and P6 were conceded to Lambat and Mostafa. Daniel limped his car around for the final 3 laps while toberkel chose to pit for repairs. Daniel upset with his mistake slowed as he approached the finish line allowing toberkel to get back on of the 3 positions he had lost.

On the podium Antti made good his victory with Dalda and Mazdarat a close 2nd and 3rd.

With only 12 cars taking the checkered flag all finishers scored decent points.

See you next week back here at South City with the XRG/XFG.
