GT CUP Round 2/5
For this round we visited Westhill, which is one of our most beleved tracks for fast races, and boy was it fast!
The pre-qualifying sessions were dominated by the Argentina Turismo crew, whose driver
Hernán Quinteros set an astounding 1:42.600. So everything seemed to be set for another fight between
Hernan and
Leandro, both Furtive Racing drivers, for the first place in the standings of this cup, but there were still some surprises on this road to victory.
Lithuanian
V. Lagūkas showed up the day of the race and while he did not reach
Hernan's pre-qualifying mark he did get the Pole Postion with an amazing 1:43.300.
The race began with a fierce fight between
Lagūkas and the Argentinian, who managed to overtake his oponent in the 3rd corner and lead the first 6 laps. Then, after some difficulties, on lap 7
Lagūkas seemed to spread wings and ride with the wind until he caught up with
Hernán in split 2 to overtake him just before they entered the 8th corner. That was so beautiful to watch!
From then on,
Lagūkas leaded until the finish line, getting P1 and also the fastest lap –an incredible 1:42.930, and showing us why he is one of the top drivers in LFS.
P2 was for Fragmasters'
[FM]Ohnifus, and P3 for Furtive Racing's
(FR)Leandro.
Congratulations to the podium winners!
