Yes, shit happens. Some were unlucky, some were lucky. That is the way it goes when it is as close as it was at this round. NDR were unlucky today, but I think they overall did a good job, and at least made a better correction at the next SC. That happens. We all make mistakes. We just have to look at it and try to improve
Looking forward to see everyone at Fern Bay! Will be another really close qual and race, I believe After all, this race was very entertaining, I must say. Even though we were really unlucky and got taken out by lagg, it was a really entertaining, and fun race to be in
I got sponsors who would have loved to watch the stream, and so does the team :-) So if someone helps out and you manage to get one running, it would been fantastic
FOX Masters 2012 saw some of the closest and most action-packed racing of the CM Storm TRR Championship 2012 around Aston National.
The qualification was close, with the top 10 separated by a second. CoRe Racing locked out the front row, with Anttonen setting pole position with a 1:47.12 only a tenth quicker than his teammate, Lähteenmäki. Last Lap Motorsports’ Paweł Kulijewicz rounded up the top three with a 1:47.24. Team Rock Racing qualified with Østgaard in 6th, Kardol in 9th, Ahlers in 11th and Lemmens in 12th.
After a fantastic start in the race, Valtteri Pitkänen would take the lead after turn one, as Toni Lähteenmäki made a mistake and hit Anttonen in the first corner. Both could continue without any problems, but they both lost many position. Joonas Koskinen went on to take the lead with a drive through for jumping the start, but would later retire after making a mistake in the first corner. The battle for the lead of the race was then an intense fight between TRR’s own Tommy Østgaard and CoRe Racing’s Valtteri Pitkänen. After some great fights, Pitkänen had to retire the race after making a mistake in the chicane, handing the victory to Tommy Østgaard. Thorsten Ulrich for Team 6th Gear Racing finished in a solid second place after having driven most of the race alone, while Rihard Suur finished in a strong 3rd place with a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit-lane.
From TRR, Walter Lemmens secured his 3rd place in the award-championship, by finishing just outside the podium in a 4th place, after having had an intense battle with our own Rik Kardol at the very last lap. Rik finished 5th, just behind Walter, while Anton followed in 6th.
We want to thank everyone who came and made the race as enjoyable as it was, and hope to see you all again the near future.

We are proud to welcome a new member to the team today. The 19-year-old American, Joe Letteriello will strengthen the team, especially in endurance racing, and will join our squad in the GT1 World Series by New Dimension Racing. We are all looking forward to share some great moments together.
Joe made his step into sim-racing when he got Live for Speed, iRacing and his wheel, a DFGT, for his birthday last year. In the beginning, he was mainly playing iRacing, but got inspired to get more involved in Live for Speed after watching the Masters of Endurance 24-hour race in 2012.
“I am happy join Team Rock Racing as my first team. Everyone are very nice, and I can see myself improving my pace greatly here, with the support from the team. I am looking forward to get to know everyone, and deliver some good results for the team”.
Team-manager, Tommy Østgaard, is flattered to announce the signing of what he believes is one of the biggest talents he has seen on the sim-racing scene: “I am proud to welcome Joe to the team today. He is a fantastic person, with a huge talent. In fact, I believe he is one of the biggest talents I have ever seen on Live for Speed. He is already having a great pace in the GT1’s, which is stunning with the little amount of experience he holds. I am really looking forward to race with him; I think we will have a great time together”.
Welcome, Joe!
We also want to wish our dear friend, László Kovács good luck in his new team, nFinity eSports. László has contributed to our best team-result so far, when he finished in 4th place in A GT2 World Series round, alongside with Tommy. Thank you, and good luck!
Congratulations to everyone. "Lacko" is a superb guy, both on and off track, a guy I believe everyone would want in their team. Good luck, my friend! I wish you all the best
