Qualify<\/h6>\n

In the qualifying session Wilfred van den Brink drove the orange mirrored #62 SFH Porsche to an impressive poleposition of 8m 20s. But the field was close. The second SFH Porsche took four more seconds to complete the lap, leaving Andr\u00e1s Kir\u00e1ly in 4th position.<\/p>\n

Race<\/h6>\n

Wilfred leads after a safe start, followed by Rudy van Buren from team RARE and Andras for SFH Orange. Rudy and Andras change position a couple of times due to different wing setups. SFH can do 7 laps per stint, competitors stop one lap earlier. <\/em><\/p>\n

After a power failure Robin manages to get back online and take over SFH Orange. In his first lap there’s a mass disconnect from the server. It is not yet clear how and when the race will be restarted.<\/em><\/p>\n

After the restart SFH Yellow erroneously \u00a0was sent off as 10th in stead of 1st. Their time loss will be compensated after the finish. Right now they’re running in the T-car, on double aggregate, after Matthijs suffered a disconnect. SFH Orange restarted in 3rd place, worked its way up to 1st but after long aero-wars Robin had to let go a couple of faster teams in the pitstops. Right now Johan is running in 2nd place, 2 min. behind the leaders.<\/em><\/p>\n

15 hours<\/strong>
\nWe’ve past the halfway point and SFH Yellow is running a heavily damaged T Car with a max topspeed of 252 km\/h (vs. 287 for SFH Orange). Despite bad luck, there’s a lot of teams that are worse off. At least we’re one of the ten cars that are left on the server.<\/em><\/p>\n

Even with a couple of strange errors, SFH Orange is still in the race. At driver takeover the game seemed to crash, but a quick hotswap back brought our car back on track. Time lost, but still running.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finish<\/h6>\n

After that Robin fell to his desktop twice, lost 25 seconds in alt-tab and re-entry, but managed to keep the car damage free. Since the leaders suffered a disconnect we’re now running 2nd on 2 minutes, 16 minutes in front of team RARE on P3.<\/em><\/p>\n
