So impressed with Pepe Oriola again. Managed to stay in front of three WDC for close to half of the race distance, in inferior machinery. What a smart and fiery little racer.
wtf? Was that some donut cop afraid of 'sem Aussis destroyin' ma NASCAR?
What are the rules there in Austin? Here in Germanland police can put you into a detox room only if you basically can't walk anymore. And have to release you more or less when the sun comes up (and you can walk again).
In the UK it's mentioned alot of being against the law in the US but it's one of those dick things that a cop will only bust you for if he's gunning for you.
I've just seen the strangest qualifying session ever since I live.
Description: Slazburgring, very straight circuit, just 3 corners, other than that only long straights.
Story: Q1 - everything OK. You could see the slipstream hunt already, but not that much. Now Q2. It lasts like 10 mins. Almost everyone (minus Tom Coronel) sets his time without/or with slipstream help. They do one fly lap and go for tyre change, wait in pits for last 3 minutes to again spoil the circuit with new laptimes.
BUT.
Chilton with Muller who set his Q2 pole in first half of the session were leading the way to the second half from pits. Everyone goes behind them WHOLE LAP like 30km/h just not to pass the, - to get slipstream. Muller and Chilton predict they're not gonna pass them, really noone figured out that session time before crossing s/f line would be over and voila! Session over, Muller pole, Coronel even did not set his time as he was sitting in pits and then behind Muller.
Haha, penalties before tomorrow's race! 14 investigated racers, 12 of them guilty. Mass fines from 1000€ to 6000€. Yeah I know it's not that much but it would definitely destroy me.
