GTAL 2011 news from 3 Hours of Westhill International (Round 2)
In the qualification we managed to take only 15th place, probably because we‘re completely lazy. One of our team members, Povilas Klimanskas started to practice just before the race, but in this round unlike the first we were a bit lucky and we almost haven‘t had any incidents. Race start was hard, because in the tracks like this, driving in traffic is difficult, but we got used to it and started to go faster and faster, in which case we managed to gain some positions. We climbed up to 3rd place, but just before second pitstop, J. Törmälä from E-Team began to breath to our back and overtook us. Soon Povilas Klimanskas took over the car, but because lack of training he didn‘t managed to keep up Modestas Runas pace. Soon we were chased. When there was 20mins left to the end of the race, Genuine Racing, The Xcite Inferno and DRUNK Team started to squeeze us. Unfortunately we couldn‘t resist against these teams. We finished in 7th place, but we‘ll get points for 6th, because Adenoids Racing won‘t get points since they‘re guest team. This race is like stimulation, because the result is kinda good comparing the 1st round. For the next round we‘ll try to practice more and finish even higher.
Nice work guys, most important is to see progress and like you said it was!
I had a nice fight with Runas (I lost it ), sadly after the 3 laps of SC I never could get the r3's back to working temps...hell stint for me ...so I was just concentrating on not crashing!
We have signed a new driver for our team, it's 19 year old Tadas Gedminas(Alianto). He concentrates very well on track, therefor he has a very steady pace in races. He doesn't have a particularly favorite car but he likes the NGT's and as he says he loves Kyoto's National and GP Long tracks. Hes a very fast and steady addition to the team, give him a warm welcome guys, hes a keeper
Today we have some more good news for our team. About 4 months ago one of our racers left us for so he said a better team, but now he's back. It's 18year old Jonas Bakšys(Mizteriz), he likes TBO's and likes driving in the city courses, so give him a second warm welcome to the team, were happy he's back.
