Belgium GP - Thursday 7th of August 2013
Sadly another bad race result for Jim.
After a very good performance in Qualifying, he got 2nd position, outperforming his car!
Everything looked good for his first serious fight for a win here at Spa but when the lights went out a surprise was waiting for Jim. T1 and the brakes are locking, he made contact with another car, causing Jim to spin 180 degrees and stood still looking the wrong way of the circuit. Sadly some cars didn't avoid him so he lost his front wing, and got heavily damaged in both his front suspenions. Staying calm, he returned into the pits to fix his car. His car lost the ability of the good turn in, he had in practise, and lost 6-8kpm of top speed. Car was 1 second slower per lap than in practise. He was now in 24th and 1 and a half minutes behind the leaders after lap 1 but he decided to continue and take as much points possible. After a nice comeback drive, he managed to take 8th place and saved the day from being a complete failure.
