[quote][i]Originally posted by tamar[/i] Back again half point, RfH is 5th ...we stay in the fast heat After Willems steady double stint, Nick had to drive lane black. Would his speed be affected by his serious cold? I think that in the dark his nose will shine like a brakelight, its strawberry red :D Starting the last stint with low 9.20 it takes Nick 5 minutes to get into the groove.. and his laptimes come down to the low 9's. I was marshalling so with my left eye on the monitor and the right on the track I could give him the lap times lap by lap. The Enzo is finally running fast and stable, be it very low. Tyre wear has been more than we expected, specially the first 3 stints, but now it seams to stabilise at a 0,05 mm p/half hr. At the last check we were 0.87 mm, 0.80 is the minimum, so its going to be close. 10 minutes into the last stint and Nick is having a nice battle with Gunther Riehl (X-Rookies) on Red lane. As Nick closes in on the X-rookies Porsche, Gunther ups the pace and by doing so becomes the hare for our Enzo........ Yes........ Nick does a 8.98 on black ;) And another, now their both circulating in the low 9.05-07. Its a great spectacle to watch them running together! Hmmmmm, Matthias Parke has noticed the hightened pace of the Enzo as well....watching both cars. He might consider checking the ground clearance before the end of the stint. And the way Nick is now throwing the Enzo around we might be just a little bit low;) We decide to change tyres at 10 min to the finish, but opt for low profiles (26,2 on 22mm rims instead of 22,6 on 21mm rims) and a quick once over, (braid cleaning and some oil). Willem assists me with the pitstop. In and out in 42 seconds...or 5 laps give or take a few secs. Then it becomes reallly close at the finish. Team Austria did 1105 laps in the first heat, with one minute to go we cross that mark...we stay in the faste group...again a close call. Results at half point: 1st X-rookies 1140.41 laps, and have changed tyres. 2nd RC Trier 1132.36 laps, no tyre change, but they are on no stop strategy. 3rd Werks team 1130.56 Their car was exactly 0.80mm groundclearance, so they have to come in for new tyres. 4th BS power 1124 laps, they had some troubble but as the race progresses the "home advantage" kicks in, they've got more confidence going in the turns, which is were we loose some time. 5th RfH 11109.71 laps. The Enzo is running well, new tyres and oil so we can run to the end. If Gabriel and me pick up some more speed our only realistic target could be the BS Power Porsche! 6th Team Austria 1105 laps, Close behind we still need to keep looking over our shoulder. There are some heavy hitters in the Austrian team, I mean these are big guys, and besides some meccanical trouble, running fast laps on yellow and blue. 7th Rookie team 1102.05, just 3 laps behind Austria, I hope that these two will keep each other busy. 8th Scale Team Berlin 1047.91 9th Baltic racer 1029,20 10th Ace of Race Sweden 876.49 These three have dropped out of contention, body damage and tech failures will determine the ranking between these 3. Night part has started, looks like the pace has come down to 9.30's for the group that runs now, hope we'll do better in the dark. Its now 20:28 Willem and Gabe have hit the sack, I'll do the same after this post. We're due to start around 22:00 hrs [/quote]
