Background story
Greetings, everyone! First of all, I would like to let you know about Dynamix Racing taking part in GTws 2014 of Round #2. Dynamix Racing entered this round with two cars. One car for GT1 class, second car for GT2 class. In the very beginning we managed to find some drivers who were willing to participate. GT2 lineup had no problems whatsoever, although with the GT1 lineup, we had some issues regarding our line up. At first, it was quite easy to get someone, to drive for us, but in the end some of those drivers just weren't dedicated enough to practice for the upcoming race, which meant to make significant changes in the GT1 lineup, otherwise we hadn't had a GT1 car on the grid. Have to be very thankful to
Isaac Price for dedicating his time in the GT1 lineup, otherwise we hadn't had the opportunity to have a GT1 car on the grid. Thank you very much!

Thankfully, this race didn't consists of many incidents. From my point of view, the race in overall was very clean, except for some here and there barrel rolls performed by some GT2 drivers
During the race, there were some Safety Car periods. The very first SC period was during the very first stint, when one of the LLM cars barrel rolled.

For our GT2 class car, the race in overall wasn't so lucky. I, personally, am not so well experienced with ENDU-racing, so I could say - this race was a real challenge for me. The very first stint, driven by Elvis Lībietis was looking somewhat good. In the very first stint GT2 class car managed to go up by one position (from 4th up to 3rd). After the stint was done by Elvis Lībietis, the car was handed over to Ricardo Costa. Ricardo managed to lead the race in GT2 class for a little while. Although, as the race went on, GT2 car suffered from slight engine damage and also from suspension damage. The front of the car looked like it was involved in a nascar racing incident. This meant our GT2 car wasn't able to pull off the best possible pace. GT2 class car dropped down to 5th place in overall standings.
End results
Dynamix Racing GT1 class car, driven by
Jesse Telkkälä and
Isaac Price finished in 1st place.
Dynamix Racing GT2 class car, driven by
Elvis Lībietis,
Ricardo Costa and
Patrick Hocza finished in 5th place.
