The G1-GP season 2 has finally come to a close with triumph and heartbreak at the Round 10 russian roullette match at Buffalo Back park figure 8. The season had come down to a final showdown between Suku Ming and Sulla Looming , with Suku leading in the standings by just 1 point . Having led after 9 rounds , it was Suku's choice for the final race, and Suku made the controversial choice of Legends on the dirt figure 8 at Buffalo Back .

With a car crunching crossover at mid track, it was up in the air wether anyone would finish the race. Jafo Tendaze landed his 4th pole with the Legends cars , pole ace Sulla Looming was suprisingly unable to do better than 6th on grid , despite being significantly faster during practice sessions.

But one thing about Sulla , when she lacks in qualifying she is determined to make up in starts and this was no exception , jumping quickly from 6th to 2nd by turn 1 . Jafo led around for 5 laps before Sulla cornered hard and fast making a nice pass on him. Suku was determined to keep pace, having stayed in close 3rd to this point.
---
But soon Jafo's times started lagging , holding Suku up some , meanwhile Sulla steadily pulled away , leading around for the next 11 laps . By this time in race, nearly half a lap back , Myself, Rattra and Yuriko had been dueling it out for positions 4th - 6th lap after lap ...then came the fatefull lap 17 . Rattra was in 4th and around the turn and off to the crossover first, me close behind and Yuriko close behind me .

Out of my peripheral i saw Sulla approaching the crossover from the opposite direction, from my perspective at current speeds there looked to be a collision, Rattra and Yuriko didnt hesitate and made it thru safely , i didnt try to make it thru instead stood on the brakes hard, while Sulla had been slowing herself to avoid the crossover traffic...and then crunch ..i T-boned Sulla, we were both out of shape and stunned i think, both got going again. But Sulla's chassis had taken a bit of damage and her handling was kaput forcing her to retire.
---
I only had a little bit of handling loss and was able to finish in 5th ...Suku held on strong for the remaining 14 laps , winning the race and the Season 2 championship. Jafo had fallen back due to difficulties and finished 4th , but Rattra and Yuriko had held on and battled tooth and nail for the rest of the race and 2nd place . Yuriko had 2nd going into final straight , but Rattra had the jump on her and pulled away in the last meters for a exciting finish and 2nd place.
---
Thus season 2 comes to a end , after Legends on some good oval fights, Rally cars thru the mountains that made for some exciting races to drive, and F3's thru some classic close quarter street tracks, and a dirt figure 8 to finish it all...it was a unusual season to say the least , i had alot of fun and i hope everyone else did too .
---
But thats not all , not nearly all...we are now gearing up for our first top series season with LMP 900 prototypes ..and at the same time will be running a 18 race Late model stock season that should be alot of fun also ..stay tuned more to come ... Including ...finally...the final 2 race highlight reel for season 1
