Green Light for the biggest motorsports event of the year
Yesterday the first BF1 Grand Prix of the OWRL started on the wonderful Kyoto National track. It was the first of twelve races for nineteen drivers.
But first things first: Eight new pb's were driven during the qualifying so the teams and drivers were well prepared. After nineteen Minutes of the half-hour qualifying SK|Husky set the Pole-Position time with a 1:16,47. His teammate SK|Vince was on the third place with a tenth of a second hehind him which was a great start for SK. Between them was cyber|prophet, who was only 0.03 seconds behind Husky.
The tension was notable. Everything was new. The rebuilding of the track has just finished before the event. Even a new traffic light was installed, explaining the delay. At 20:29 CEST race director Germanpio started the Formation Lap of the Kyoto GP. Prophet had the best start and led the field into turn one, followed by Husky and Vince. Vince broke too late and drove through the gravel. While losing only one position he was hit by another two cars and found himself back in 12th position. After he could catch up to the leader he had to end the race in lap 25.
Because of the nervousness and the incidents prophet had to overlap the first drivers in lap ten. His strategy worked well with a short first and a long second stint. In lap 37 he lost the lead, but Husky and ISKuGa had to go to the pits as well, so that cyber|prophet won the race after 1:22 hours in front of SK|Husky and pod.ISKuGa.
After many technical failures only twelve drivers saw the chequered flag.
