G1-GP Season 3 Opener


It was a bit of hard and wild racing at the Gilles Villenueve circuit in Montreal Canada for the G1-GP season 3 LMP 900 round 1 race..... A 1st lap crunch in turn 2 , started it off, involving 3 cars and ultimately retiring Nella Boccara. 3 drivers barely avoided the wreck and continued on after the leaders.

Up in the front Remon Franizzi ran away a little bit with Jafo Tendaze in hot pursuit ... Remon ran a near flawless race ultimately getting the win . Jafo had it a bit worse , unfortunately was using a car setup nearly verbatim from myself and suffered late race Brake failure and retirement , just as i did hehe .

There were several notable duels during the race, Suku Ming vs Suzy Cuddihy for 3rd.... Myself and Katier Reitveld had a fun running battle for a lap or 2 , several good passes back and forth by both of us . Sulla Looming stayed steady and fast , with Jafo putting on heavy pressure near the end of race before his brakes failed . Sulla got 2nd, Suzy Cuddihy 3rd, Suku Ming 4th and Jafo ended up 5th in official scoring .

6 cars of 11 retired from this one in quite a bash em up ...Canada was one of the harder races on the schedule , but i dont think anyone quite expected that many cars to go down ... well thats racing , Drivers will cheer triumph or wince in defeat for a moment or 2 and focus on the next round , which is the first of 3 UK races this season at Silverstone raceway .
