Race Report

For this 5th race of the 1991 F1 season, we move to Portugal on the picturesque circuit of Estoril.

Inevitable since we started at Interlagos, Jayden HW qualified on pole, followed on the front row by pitman.
After a clean start, it’s Campbell MacDonald who launches himself the best, climbing from P18 to P14 in one lap. Lap 2, however, is more turbulent, as Florian Masse spin in Curva 3 and fall from P4 to P14, while Vanderspeed crashes at Parabolica Interior and Natan Veksler locks the brakes, making contact with Evgeny Morozov and Technoluddite at Orelha.

The first half of the race shows and incredible pace from Jayden HW, who create a comfortable 20sec gap with his follower, Nik Likar. At halftime, the pack is still grouped from 2nd to 9th place, before the pit stop routine. Indeed, the grid was divided between the choice of Hard and Medium tyres. However, the choice of Hard tyres did not seem to pay off as the race pace on these tyres collapsed earlier than expected.

Anyway, the battle went on until the finish line as Nik Likar and Adamike99 fought it out for 2nd position, while gilvil77 and Linus Jonsson chased Pete Bondurant for 5th. At the end of the race, Jayden HW, Nik Likar and Adamike99 complete the podium. Linus Jonsson takes the best lap in 1.14.8 and Tom Zeeuw makes an impressive recovery, finishing 8th, 13 position higher than his starting position.

Race Report

This weekend's race was the occasion to gather on the mythical track of Spa-Francorchamps, where 23 drivers took the start under a rare enough to mention, blue sky.

Only 2 drivers started with softs, including Linus Jonsson starting on pole position, while 10 drivers were on hards and 10 on mediums. So tyre choice and pit stop strategy would play an important role during this race.

As the cars rushed down the track, a slowdown at the raidillon caused a pile-up including several cars, while Linus Jonsson and Adamike99 were already opening up a gap.

Then, 8 minutes were sufficient for Adamike99 to overtake in the Combes section and take the lead of the grand-prix, which he will not give up until the finish line. The rest of the race showed that the choice of tyres was crucial, as softs and mediums quickly overheated on this challenging layout, forcing some drivers to pit earlier than expected.
6 drivers suffered from the difficulty of the track and had to retire before the end of the race.

On the finish line, the podium was shared between Adamike99, Linus Jonsson and Pitman while the best lap record went to Linus Jonsson.
Also worth mentioning are the performances of Steve Hayward and Tom Zeeuw, both gaining 13 places to finish 9th and 10th, as well as Technoluddite, who climbed 7 places to enter the top 5.

I had a quick look on stream it looked great fun. Literally a battle in almost every position.

Jayden HW

That was a short race. Gearbox said Kaboom after few laps

Garamond

Good battles early in the race @Ony & @Potatohedron. Unlucky collisions, looking forward to next time.

ValentinK

Damages on the front wing since T1 gave me a lot of understeer + high diff settings may have done the job to protect me from oversteering issues
