@Aidan Keranen forgot to tell you, wanted to keep Harvey's lucky Silverstone helmet.. a bit too late now it seems for this GP

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

I think tim can win this race, he's on a 1 stop, but it's just like monza here, while everyone who pits twice is there for +-35 seconds, the 1 stoppers are blasting over the circuit

Also @Aidan Keranen i think i've to correct you that not dtk but speedy has the most reliable car

Only if you look at finishes yes, than Speedy seem more reliable. Though looking at the CoF values DTK are way ahead; 2305 (DTK) and 3660 (Speedy). Heck even Apex has a better CoF value than Speedy; 3322

EDIT: figures as per British GP

+ Bring on Part 2!

Wow, first part went well, lets hope the second part is as good and I will be able to keep my car out the barriers

What a bad race for us. Yes Joel got some points but Harvey was on for matching our team's best result, maybe even better
And our rivals scored more points than us

 

[Tim.E]

Wow, speechless

 

[Deleted member 161052]

Last was Max Chilton. (joke)

 

[Jimlaad43]

Well, third and 10th isn't exactly what I'd hoped for, but it'll do I suppose.

Just seen results, will watch second part later.

 

[Jack Hunsley]

Poor performance on my part, frustrating to just chuck it all away, but I guess it's about time things didn't go my way.

Thankfully Tapio managed to grab us some good championship points

 

[James McNamara]

Wow, speechless

This could almost be matched to Mark Webber's first win

 

[Tim.E]

This could almost be matched to Mark Webber's first win

Yeah right now I'm enjoying my first victory on Racedepartment. My victory has a lot in common with the one of Mark Webber in 2009, but that's not important to me. The most important thing for me is that I scored some good points for the team. Shame Manolis retired.

 

[Jimlaad43]

@Aidan Keranen, @James McNamara - I loved your commentary for Lintner vs Hunsley

 

[the_sigman]

Well done Timmy, what a great result! Shame we couldn't celebrate together on the podium

TIM BITES INTO MAIDEN WIN

Tim Engberink made up for his mistake in Sepang with a stirring drive that netted him his maiden victory. With Speedy Racing taking a risk on a single stop strategy, Engberink was able to hold enough speed to not worry about a faster finishing Pablo Diehl who, having done 2 stops, had to overcome stiff opposition from Tapio Rinneaho to secure second. Rinneaho was another one stopper, behind the top three were McNamara, Bohner in a great effort for 5th, Sharp in an even better effort for 6th, Csako took 7th, Rautavaara was consistent again for 8th, while Dimas made it a double points effort for OMR-EvoGP with 9th, just (and we really mean just) ahead of Jack Hunsley who had two trips into the gravel at Turn 1, but recovered for 10th at the death, moving past Krisztian Lintner and Andy Black late in the race.
After the carnage that was Silverstone, Hockenheim decided it was better that they held the record, and as such this race saw 10 retirements, 3 from driveshafts and a whopping 7 accidents. Foro, Sigoulakis and Utzer in his home race were the unlucky 3 to have failures, while the Elite Two's, Ochlsager, Said, Barrett, Keranen and Harvey all visited the wall, with Harvey and Noack having particularily heavy shunts, while Keranen was going that fast he decided to attempt to make a new section of the track through one of the grandstands.
But in the end, it was Engberink and Speedy who took the chance to be in the history books, and deserving of that they are, even if it is around 10 rounds late

RDFIA Press Conference
@Tim Engberink You've finally gotten that win that was in your grasp. Is it more a relief or just party time? Where can you go from here with 5 races to go?
@Diehl You looked fast, if you and Tapio hadn't had that battle, did you feel that you might have won?
@Tapio Rinneaho Not often that we've seen you here without Jack, revelling in the fact you were ahead today? Bit disappointed with 3rd maybe?
