[Stefan Woudenberg]

Well that was fun guys! Thanx!

Claes got pole position and I knew it would be almost impossible to challange him. He was so quick here.

My start was not so goog and Larry could come aside, but backed off before turn 1. You should have kept you car there Larry, there was room enough for both our cars.
Claes drove away as expected, but due to a mistake I could take over the lead. Within no time he had closed the gap and was lloking for a gap. I drove defensive lines. After a few laps I made a small mistake at the end of S2 and Claes made a great move on the outside.
A few laps later he made a mistake again and again I could take over the lead. In lap 10 or so I came to turn 2 too quickly and had to drive a bit different line to make the turn without understeering off. Claes must have been surprised with that as he hit me and I was roling over the roof a couple of time. My steering was 5 degrees of and the right turns fell a bit strange. He had given back the position, but as he was so quick he passed me again....
And yes, due to a small mistake I could retake the lead for a 3rd time and this time it was not to be lost again.

My first win with rF2 became a fact.

Thanx guys, again, and see you guys next race!

Congratulations Stefan for your win. It looked to be a close fight between you and Claes. To keep me occupied during the three hour pit stop I was watching the gaps and the changing positions on the HUD. As for me, not too much to say except that I had a nice evening even though I couldn't get my act together. Anyway, looking forward to the next one.
