GPVWC Superleague 2013

Two more races in the SL series : British GP and Italian GP. Two races that Jim does not want to remember. Let us read why.

British GP - Thursday 4th of July 2013

Silverstone is Jim's most favourite circuit. However, his car was not powerful enough to give him any chance to win. He started 7th, but his start was amazing gaining two positions, to find himself in a train situation of five cars, separating the first car to fifth ( Jim) by only two seconds. However, on the 4th lap he had a problem with his pc causing him to crash and loose his front wing and damaging badly his front left suspension. That left Jim last, with the "mission" to get back into a point scoring position. The car did not help him and he only managed to finish 11th. What would you expect from your most favourite circuit.... 

Italian GP - Thursday 18th of July 2013

This race can be described in two words. No Comments.
Even though Jim did an excellent qualifying starting 3rd, a silly penalty threw him back in 8th. As a result, Jim had to involve in battles that in a circuit like Monza can ruin your race completely. That was what happened to Jim. Battle after battle an uncharacteristic move from another driver, left him with damage in the front left suspension. Frustrated by this outcome, Jim lost his temper and DNF the car. 

Lets hope that your next race is not like these two. Best of luck!!

New updates in the blog and new things to say. It has been a month or so, and the SL series continue their races with Jim never missing a race. In this post I will inform you about two of his races. The first one is Korean GP and the second one is the Turkish GP. Fasten your seat belts and let's get going.

Korean GP - Thursday 6th of June 2013

The qualifying session found Jim in the 12 position, with prime tires, when everyone else qualified with option tires. His Q was just as he was planning it to be, since the practise he did was merely enough to prepare him for the race. Five lights are out and Jim makes a decent start. During the race, Jim is the only one in a different strategy, with one less pit stop. If we take into account that Korea is not his favourite circuit, in fact among his worst, Jim managed to finish 7th, having a not so interesting race, scoring, however, valuable points.

Turkish GP - Thursday 20th of June 2013

 After his pole in the Malaysian GP, this was his second best Q. Jim started in the front row, in the 2nd position. This was a pretty good race, having a nice pace, and with the perspective of a podium podium finish. However, in the midst of the race, he had an unlucky incident with a backmaker not responding well on the blue flags, forcing Jim to spin, in order to avoid collision and DNF. Other than that he found his pace again managing to gain 3rd position back. On the last lap of the race though, a malfunction of the car's gearbox on the braking - a downshift from 3rd gear to 1st gear- cost him his podium finish, leaving Jim sad in the 4th position.

My apologies for my absence.
