I came 2ndin in the A main in the GT-1 finals and i have finished the race report for Round 1 of the UF1 summer series.
UF1 Summer Series Round 1, West Coast Raceway.
After I won the UF1 Winter Series. I imediatly got to work on the Summer Series. Every race expect one is on asphalt and aspahlt is a new expirience to me and my dad. I also have a new teammate. Bill Jeric who will be raicng along with me.
This season, the pit stop rules have changed. You now have to make two stops in 10 minutes or your race will nof count. The pit stop time has been increased from 8 seconds to 11 seconds.
Qualfying went decent for me, I ended up 4th overall but I was far behind the leader. I knew that this would be a learning year for my team but we would still have fun in the process. In the first A main i clipped one of the corners dots, upseting the car in the process. This dropped me back a few positions, with two minutes into the race, my teammate Bill, lost control of his car and i ran right into him rolling my car over dropping back a few more positions, however i was able to fight back and come in 4th. In the 2nd A main I made the same mistake at the begininng of the race and I got dropped back. Halfway through the race I was able to make up some positions, but I clipped another plow disk and it rolled my car over on the other side of the track and I had to go all the way around again. The good news was I was able to take 4th again. In the final main, i did not make the same mistake I did at the beginning and I was able to put myself in a better position. I screwed up my last race pit stop a bit by waiting a little bit for the car to come out but i went around again to come in. I placed 3rd in the last A main and was able to place 4th overall. My next race is April 28th, titled the Shanghai Grand Prix.
