Another fun-event with the Endurance cars, this time in Fuji and a 120 minutes race. Mikael Larsson in LMP1, Mark A Warmington in LMP2 and Eckhart von Glan in GT2 entered.
Both Mark and Eckhart unfortunately got disconnected and had to retire. Too bad guys!
Mikael was safe in 3rd position when it was 10 minutes to go. Almost run out of fuel and a bad decision trying to save fuel resulted in a pitstop anyway and lost 1 spot to 4th where he finished. Only a few small mistakes on the way but he did all 120 minutes.
Great job everyone, keep the spirit up and the approaching league start will be great!

A 150 minute long race at Sebring was held on Wednesday. A good event to practice a longer run and the driver swap.
Mark A Warmington and Mikael Larsson entered in an LMP1, lonely in that class but a good race practice session. They did only a few minor mistakes and kept the car rolling without damage and in a quite good and steady pace all 150 minutes.
Finally they got the checkered flag as overall winners.

The first round in SimJunkies short 4 race league is over. Two Blueflaggers have entered: Mikael Larsson and William Yunck.
A two race event, 18 laps with a mandatory pitstop with a minimum 2 tyre change.
The both did very well in the superpole: Mikael qualified as no.1 (55.190) and William as 3rd (55.536).
Race 1:
Mikael lost one place in the start and was chasing the leader for several laps. This track doesn´t offer much when it comes to passing, and Mikael was just waiting for an opportunity to pass caused by a mistake. Only a few laps to go, and there it was. Mikael got the victory!
William held his 3rd place half the race when he suddenly made a small mistake and lost down to 10th! Driving safe was really paying off when one by one made mistakes and he was able to finish in position 5. Well done!
Race 2:
William in 4th and Mikael in 8th on the grid.
They both made great starts where William advanced 2 positions and Mikael 3. 2nd and 5th.
In lap 10, William still in 2nd, he tried to avoid a crash and ended upp in the grass. Managed to get right on track again, in 4th now. Nice and steady he advanced 2 more spots and finished 2nd! Great!
Mikael was determined to drive safe and clean, waiting for others to make mistakes. And one by one got distracted when his front showed up in the mirrors. He finally climbed to the top once more!
Blue Flag Racing 1st and 2nd overall! Great job guys!

Round 1 was held at March 19th in the GT Sport class. From our team, Kris Leeten and Mark A Warmington was on the lineup with our BMW. Mark encountered some network problems during practice and Mikael Larsson as a reserve was able to jump in, just in time for qualification. Mikael qualified as 10th and Kris as 18th.
A lot of action, and we all waits for a movie.
Both Mikael and Kris did what they were expected to do, bring the cars home in one piece after 90 minutes of hard racing. None of them had the pace for a top fight. Mikael ended up in 8th position, 1.38m behind the winner Damian Dainhumain who was outstanding. Kris finished as 14th, 2 laps behind.
The team result for this round is looking better for us. Both cars to the finish is always good and we´re in position 4 with 24 points, 17 behind GMT-DHR.
Seems like this will be a very close championship this year, with more teams participating.
The GT Pro class will be driven March 26th.
