Good race, another 2-3 minutes there may have been a real nice battle for the win. I think 1.8sec between 1st and 2nd.

Great broadcast/race, will be tuning in next round for sure.

Ostgaard is a member of F1RST, but races for Triple 7 Racing in GTAL.

Ah alright then. My mistake

You are right we (T7R) are giving the Tommy Østgaard from F1RST the opportunity to practice endurance racing under real conditions and to learn a bit more about the things that is also needed for such leagues (as it's not "hotlapping makes you win") In the end he will be much more prepared for his MoE entrance as that's his goal. There's also a nice knowledge transfer going on between our teams and that's a good thing too, as you always live and learn.

Last but not least:
Endurance racing is always a combination of practice, strategy and lots of other little things that need to be done to be prepared to win.
First of all it's a Team sport.

It's alwas nice to do the last stint and be on the finish photo but only the combination of all makes the race and the team effort complete.
Without the amazing passings in the 2nd hour of C. McKowen who brought the car back to P1 we wouldn't had such a comfortable lead infront and after after the last pitstop.

So they (Charles and Tommy) both won this race together under the all seeing eye of our head strategist (3j) Three Jump and under the umbrella of Triple 7 Racing.

Gotcha. Tommy is a really fast guy right now and i think he will do very well
in such a prestigious league like MoE. But why F1RST racing couldnt appear
in GTAL? Is it that this is an amateur league?

Yep, that's it. NDR reserves the right to refuse people who raced beforehand in IGTC or MoE if they feel they are too experienced or too l33t to race in these series, as this remains an Amateur league after all. As this is the case of something like 2/3 of F1RST Racing(there's only a few rare exeptions like Tommy, who definitively has the required skills to drive in MoE but hadn't the opportunity so far), no wonders why they can't set up a team here.
