GPVWC Superleague 2013

Thursday 29th August 2013: Germany - Nurburgring

Seems like that after Jim's pole in Magny-Cours , another was waiting to be captured. Two consecutive poles in France and in Germany. The outstanding thing about this race in Germany is that Torrent Motorsports (TMo) managed to start 1-2! Jim the poleman and his teammate second. Five lights out and Jim, yet another time, makes a good start having to deal with his teammate already from the first turn. Side by side the two TMo drivers, no contact made, and Jim still leads the race. Their strategy's plan was that Jim was the one to pit first. As a result Jim had to cover the time lost in that extra lap his teammate, Petter, had in the circuit. As he did. The race was all about Jim and his teammate as the other drivers were 30 second behing TMo. An interesting race without many battles, but with the best result a team could want. They finished just as they started. Jim once again the winner of the race with his teammate second. 

As the commentators said in France's broadcast: " Once you win your first race, then there is another consecutive win waiting in the corner! ".

Are you on fire Jim?? I hope you continue like this!!

Best of luck!

GPVWC Superleage 2013

Wednesday 15th August 2013: France - Magny Cours

The race day started with very good perspectives. Jim's car was definitely faster than it was in his previous race, however he was not sure that it was fast enough to win the race. Jim was able to take the pole and that was the omen he and his team wanted. He made an exceptional race start and was the leader half way through the race with a gap of 3seconds. Unfortunately though, during his second pit stop he lost his place as he had slower crew in his pit stop. After that, and for the second half of the race, Jim was trying to get his position back. Finally on the last 3 laps he managed to close the gap between them and made his effords to win the first place back. On the final lap he made his move and managed to take back his first place. With only two turns remaining it was definite that Jim had won the race. In the second turn before the end of the race the other driver made a desperate move to overtake Jim pushing him off the track costing him his win. In his broadcast - which I was also watching - when he realised what happened almost smashed his gas pedal. Jim along with his team made an appeal to the judges and one week later the judges come down to the result that Jim was the WINNER!!!

Well done Jim!!! It was an exceptional race with nice battle in the end!
Hopefully more wins are to come!!
