GT3 Touring Car Cup
After a 7 race series and a struggle with the underpowered FX GT3 #25 Last Lap Motorsports finishes the season in 3rd place, rounding off the series podium. The series consisted of many 2-3 hour races, Last Lap Motorsports consistently showed for the races and managed to keep up in the points standings. The final race of the season was an important race in the standings as it was a double points event. Jarl Teien started off the race in 3rd place and quickly made use of his r3 r2 tyre strategy over the Drunkteam's R4 R3 strategy. However it because clear drunk had an advantage because they could slide through the turns, but LLM's tires grew thin very quickly. Because of this AroX was forced to lay off and wait to make adjustments. After a close battle with DRUNK and Mega Racing Team that involved many bumps and nudges through the hair pin and chicanes there was little gain by arox. Ray Kings (Bmxtwins) jumped into the car to take hours 3 and 4, his first hour he was able to sustain 3rd place and when a caution was called for Drunk team's tires popping due to no heat during caution laps Bmxtwins imediately pitted 10 minutes early and popped back out in 3rd place. By the time the restart got under way Ray's early stop was beneficial. Ray realized he had much speed over the Mega Team FZR and had made a 16 second gap, Ray backed off and conserved tires. What Ray did not realize was how fast thir second driver was. Ray handed the car off to Joel Villa (SilverFang) who immediately falls back to 4th. Joel races the last hour with all his skill but Last Lap Motorsports is only able to take 4th.
Overall howerver a podium was taken.
